    Im certainly interested now. I'm glad I found this board. Last time I drove, the Internet was dial up SLOW, in no trucks, and phones were flip up vs being able to get a load via smart phone today. What a change the last 12 yrs have been... Before finding this board, I relied on the cb in the past, and "yard talk" among other drivers in the same boat as me. i.e., we were in the same outhouse. Lol thanks for the post.

    Same problem I had I looked and most gliders used had inframes at 600,-700,000miles and gliders have half the warranty of a new truck.

    I ended up buying a used truck I can rebuild my motor trans and rears put fresh paint and custom interior and have way less than $140,k for a new glider!!!!

    an "inframe at 600-700,000 miles?" What's that? I'd love to have one that's not a nightmare later, but I do worry about that. I can get a new 389 O/O specs, nav, stand up, cummins 525, 18 speed, etc, for $149,000 and some change, out the door. That means all taxes, from what I understand

    If you haven't been driving for 12years and can't afford a $2,400 note what are you really expecting? And why do you need a new truck?
