    What suspension did it have? Mine with the low air rides so much nicer than other trucks I have driven , although I have heard those Volvo's do ride nice so maybe you are just spoiled. :biggrin_25523: Hard ride for safety is a good one,1st time I've heard that. Maybe the long hood is for safety and not status also, look at how much safer you and the public would be. :biggrin_25525:

    I figured for $31k in motor work it would be a crate engine. As far as the ride, mine with the flex air rides great but the one with air trac and air leaf is terrible.

    You and I both know that but some good drivers like that look.

    But back burnering this for now. Long, private story but could be back in my Volvo that I am kinda hoping for.

    Saw it but only interested in 53' and just spent a stupid amount of money on a Fontaine stepdeck. This things are like friging hoppers or some classic car.

    Nope, with our growth it could be months before I drive again. No need to tie up $50k in capital.
