    Looking to purchase a 2003 Peterbilt 387. Cat C15 6NZ. Motor has 220,000 miles rebuilt. 10 Speed. 10 Bridgestone tires at 70%. For 25k any suggestions ??

    Found a 1998 kenworth for 13k also seem to be in decent shape here locally. I was turned away from the 2012 international prostar after reading reviews not sure what to buy?

    Pick one. Seriously. YOUR THE ONE STUCK WITH IT.

    I'm partial to cats ( minus acert) and old BBC's.

    Get all documents on rebuild, least its not a " we just did an inframe and must sell now" deal. Stay away from those.

    Your money and at the end of the day you decide.
