    Long frame, how heavy is the truck?
    How many miles before the new odometer ?

    I think this truck has been taken care off and is a good buy for 20-22k. Do you need that kind of frame?

    I think the price is ridiculous, I think the odo being changed without any verification or proof of the total miles on the rest of the truck is ridiculous.

    Everyone is trying to cash in on the "pre emissions" hype.

    Fact is its a 16yr old FLD with a 10spd.

    Shelby Elliot has made a living, a good one at picking out reasonably clean trucks, mostly those with big sleepers that are past their usual service life. This is one of those examples. If you think he is good at what he does, buy his trucks. He is after all a used truck salesman.

    Hawk is right, Elliot had all the big sleeper trucks years ago. IDK, nothing fancy here, these are dime a dozen. These rode pretty nice without the stretch, I'd think this would be a hassle backing in somewhere. ( that one space at the truck stop a cabover would have a hard time with, much less this, comes to mind) I drove a truck like this last fall for a cranberry marsh ( yard only) was an old "Plainfield" truck with a ton of miles, but was still a nice truck, they paid $7g's for it.

    I would not purchase this truck, There is no need for that long frame. They rode well without it.

    The new odometer kills the knowledge overall miles stacked on it. I'll pass. I like 120's but not this one.
