    I don't see many T800s cheap, T600s are usually pretty cheap, but the 800's at one time had the best resale of any truck made.
    If a guy keeps an older truck up, he doesn't have to work on it any more than a 3 year old one, it is just a lot cheaper. I am not talking about an antique truck, but say in the 90's. .

    The White/Western Star that is intothesunset's avatar is not super old. It's a '93, same year truck I have now. Says its riding on a 2006 freightliner cutoff with air liner. Should have a/c & most all the other "essential" modern amenities to make the day nice, no matter the weather.

    I like it, but is priced a bit to high for the powertrain it has. Same 11.1L Detroit 320/350hp & E F 9speed. I'd go $12k, maybe $13k for it. $19.5k is just to steep for me.

    You can see it on truck paper if you care. Hit heavy duty trucks, then CO with sleeper, then White/GMC I'm not good at linking, but I'll try.. :oops:
