    Hmmm....I like Fish's answer....

    Tell you what....if I won enough money to buy another new rig....

    I'd buy the same set up I have now...386 with a 550 ISX.....and use the rest of the money to bring Donk and his family over to live here in the US......
    Donk would have a brand new start and a brand new set of wheels rolling down the ribbon......

    That sucks...what a teaser!!! In that case I'd probably just fix up the ol Pete a little more, and put the rest in CD's, or whatever the moneyman says is wise right now....Geeesh what a teaser :biggrin_25523:

    after paying off the mortgages, and other bills, and taking care of my family, i'd probably buy a new Pete day cab, with frame and have a pick up bed fabricated to fit it, then maybe have a "dump" system installed, and just have the biggest pick up truck around........ of course, those drive thru tellers and fast food windows "might be" a bit of a problem........:biggrin_25522:

    I would just trick my truck!! The first thing I would do to improve my old marmon is remove the fifth wheel. Have it chrome plated. Then it would be the bobtail tour 2011 :biggrin_25523:

    find the newest kenworth w-900L flattop 60" with rear window, 24.5 all aluminums with big rubber, full gauges, white with straight pipes, 18 speed, 3.70 full locking rears, 8 bag rear...then take it to a truck shop and tell them i want it to look like brand new inside and out rebuild/replace everything that doesnt look new.

    Take out whatever motor is in it and have a fresh 15.8l 3406E with pre low nox 600 horse tune, 2050 tq.

    that is all
