    ive already went down that path to no return :biggrin_25523: . luckily ive found a couple close to me , a local trucking company selling some off for a good price. sometimes the old way of just driving around the neighborhood still works better than technology.

    Sheesh.

    And duly noted about truck paper, I look on there often and recently AuctionTime. It seems like where I need to go to find what I’m looking for (late 80s early 90s Mack or Ford)

    I went to SLC Utility a week ago to see what reefers they offer. No new ones, at all in the near future, few 2019 trailers - $119k, couple of 2014 - $69. Well.. after looking at the list they gave me, I've folded it, put it in the pocket and.. went to parts counter, bought breaks, chocks, chambers, hub oil, liner, rivets to fix few holes and decided to "renew" drive train of my old renter to keep it rolling for few more miles :).

    I ordered a new stepdeck a few months ago, I refuse to pay what they're asking for used. Haven't decided yet if that's the dumbest idea I've had recently.

    What do you mean by "dumbest" idea? It is "done best" idea)

    After a month or two, when they will be "used", you may sell them for a "used" price and become a happy owner of a few extra bux)
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    Mac, tried a Manac and what showed up had a fixed California legal spread instead of set to the rear, and apparently the wrong suspension or some ####, just a fubar deal all the way around.
