    I know a Guy selling a 94 WS 4964. Has a fresh rebuilt 425C mechanical. It’s also clean as far as rust goes. Looks very beat up, neglected. He wanted $10k coupe yrs back. Just saw it sitting at a Truckstop, looking abandoned. Stacks falling off, battery box cover missing. Wondering what happened. Would be a good start, to build a Custom Truck.

    That’s exactly what I’d like to do with my 84” Condo. 285” WB, got a little room to bump it out. What’s the WB on your Truck?

    The plan is that instead of retiring , I’m 56 now and we own a bunch of timeshare that my wife would come with and we would book a load somewhere and then take a week or so of at a resort then do it again

    Others retire and buy a big coach and pay to travel
    Our plan is to get paid to travel
    I might have to switch from flatbed to van if I get to wore out but as long as I can drive why retire and sit at the house on SS?

    Mine is 320” ?

    I guess you could get away with 300” - I can overhang 2’ off the front of the flat and clear the sleeper, no problem.

    That is a great plan. For me I'm not even out much. I drove 44K miles last year and did just fine. My father worked 38 years and 3 years after retiring passed away, that changed my whole perspective on life, and how important time is, because you just never know. I want the comfort of home when I am out.

    So what do you think the price on a new one is these days ? $350K ?
