    I bet Kevin Rutherford would buy it, sounds like it is right up his alley.

    Stretch the frame and put a box or flatbed on it. Use it for deliveries or sell.

    find a shop that does truck bodies, I'm sure they'll make a cash offer on it.

    Sleepers are cheap. You'd have to stretch it anyway for a tow n haul.

    No sleeper the poor sob thought making 1500 a week was money, About how much do you guys think is to stretch it?

    Ltl around here is good the problem is finding drivers, if I find a driver with a ok record I would be willing to pay 60% after expenses since parking in north Jersey is atleast 150 dollars a month.(I'm paying 275 for 2 trucks in a unsecured parking lot)

    Stretching frame and adding sleepers and tandems would probably cost more than the truck would be worth. Maybe you could advertise it to the hotshotters market.

    well hotshotting or selling it seem to be the better more economical options im going to go to the hotshot forum. I drove around the port today where the import cars come into the country and I saw most of the guys that haul cars have the single axles, but lets see whats around my area for now until I find a driver or sell it will be a really expensive front yard decoration just like the girlfriend always wanted...... not exactly but close

    Don't put a nickel into unless it is necessary to get it sold. Sell it and move on. If you start screwing with it you will spend a pile of money and time and probably lose your a_ _. Just my opinion.
