    With only four months of U.S. CDL experience, you should check insurance rates before you commit to buying your own truck.

    The yearly premium may cost you as much as the truck you’re looking to purchase.

    What's missing? Your name on the door? Just kidding,,This is about what a truck like this should go for, unless I'm missing the point. These were good old trucks, someone just starting out, by all rights, this truck should be long gone. Guy I rented from in Wis. his sons father in law has a truck like this, he's one of those guys that won't give it up until "they pry his cold dead fingers from the steering wheel" type.

    Batteries? No problem late at night, and an old mudflap works for cover,,,been there..and I happened to like "air" wipers, not vacuum. Vacuum wipers were the cars bizarro equivalent to air wipers. When the radio faded out, on a rainy night, it was that "PSHHTT-PSST,,,PSHSST-PISST"" that kept me going.
