    nah...

    It has more to do with how I felt with buying a Century and not a W9.

    The W9 I felt I would have been buying a perdy truck for the paint. The Century right now is just practical. It's a "learning" truck for me. Financially, just as risky as buying a W9. Just not to the depth a W9 would have been.

    what year? I have a 70" double sleeper. I started in an 85 mack superliner with a 36" sleeper. I like my space.

    I've also come to like my 226" wheel base. Thing handles nice in tight spaces.
