    Thought I’d post the other half of the rig

    This is what she looked like when I bought her in 2016, I wanted a blank canvas to work with and it had the interior I wanted. An 09 for the great price of 36K. 500944-C (2).jpg
    Over the years she has transformed into the image I had in my head 500944-Z99A (2)_LI.jpg
    After the last year or 2 I thought heavily on stretching the sleeper, now it's happening...

    Gonna make a huge difference for you. That is awesome! How long before they finish the job? How long did it take for them to do the job? And how much advanced notice did they need to get you in?

    I was fortunate they had an opening before their next conversion, so I dropped it off Jan 5th and they said completion in March. I'm not rushing them, when it's done, it's done, but I am excited. We started talking right around Thanksgiving and making plans.

    I’m the same. Only really started paying attention in 1996, when I bought my WS. Used to be quite a few Marmons In Wisconsin. A Car Dealer in Janesville called Fagan got a Franchise deal with them. They closed up, before he could ever get a single Truck from them. He then opened a WS franchise. He showed Me a whole Trailer full of new Marmon parts, along with the Sign. He was so mad about the deal. They cost him big $$$. At the time he was stuck with the parts. I often wonder what he ever did with them. Surely be worth money now, 20+ yrs later.

    Just went past Shelbys place yesterday. Only 3 Trucks on the lot. 1 beautiful W9 with a 120” or larger sleeper. It’s probably $250k or more. Looked almost new. Super nice.

    What’s a minimum WB for a 120” like yours on a Pete?
