    But you do that inframe yourself and spend less than injectors cost on any of the newer stuff.

    I agree with you but the fella has more money than he does sense. All his trucks are old iron.... absolute pristine condition...and will run as strong and fast as you tell it to
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    One of those guys huh? I'd rather drive for a guy with old trucks but he keeps them looking new than somebody who buys you a new truck every three years and never fix what does break though.
     
    Opendeck, Tug Toy and slickWillie1980 Thank this.

    Yeah he's one of those but you can spot his rides from a mile away. He runs hopper bottoms from Goldsboro Milling down to Cargill in Fayetteville.
    I just pull from the fields to mills.

    Laugh all you want but the one Prius is used for business and the money it saves goes to the drivers.

    Why should I drive my pickup when I go meet up with a driver or drivers that cost me $300 round trip when I can go for $50 and treat them to dinner?

    Remember it isn't the tools you have to make money that always counts but how you use tools to make the money.
     
    speedyk and Opendeck Thank this.
