    I have a 1986 w900b limited addition , 60 inch flattop, 3406 cat ( bad engine , liners were leaking ) . It,s been sitting for years , just haven't had time to restore it. This is cool old piece of iron . I even have the orginal build sheet catalog

    I plan to buy one, but don't have one now.

    There are a lot of good buys out there right now, but $$ are short right now for that. Need to focus on business right now. Look at hobbying later. Though I'd like to combine the two. An older truck with the right specs and a fuel efficient engine (electronic N-14 or 12.7 DDEC) is deffinately on the board , if found for the right $$.

    I guess if I had a dream truck, it would be a '58 Pete 351 with a 63"-36" flattop, electronic N-14, 13 spd, 355's or 370's, 250-270" wb, ps, ac, engine brake, and air ride. But, a 359 or W900A would be great too.
