What do you think?

Do you know a reputable shop to work on a b model?
Mechanical motors are different then the newer electronic ones. It doesn’t look like a 15k truck

 

That's a $5000 truck, not a $15000 truck. And that's assuming it's in decent condition.

 

This is an odd thread.
Im seeing a T600 with a 3406B. Where are you guys getting forward set front axle and V8 at?
OP, Yes the truck is probably worth 15,000. Overhauled and a wet kit.
But, are you going dirt truck trucking? If not you should pass. Dirt trucks tend to be hammered on. Plus, you wouldn't have any need for a wet kit.

 

The ad.

 

3406B is a mechanical engine. If you're planning to lease on with a company, make sure they'll allow you to run paper logs, or that their electronic logging equipment will support a mechanical engine.

 

Overhaul on a CAT could be anywhere from $10k - $30k.
Worth a tire kicking look at it, if you're close.

 

I like the truck. I'm not a 20 year veteran but I've owned a truck. That sleeper would be fine for me otr. If it starts easy when cold that's a good sign. B model cats can run a long time if left under 450hp. And get near 6mpg. So I was told by a owner of one 2 years ago. He had the same truck since 85 a w900b. 3 engines all lasted 1 million left at 400hp. And near 6mpg. I would bet shocks are bad. And hope it's not 8 bag ride. I hate those.

 

OK. I see where it says V8. So, what do you think the typo is? the title says 3406B, the description in the add says 3406B. Im betting its a 3406B and the guy just put whatever in that other B.S.

 

check the suspension since that is a dirt darts trucks, some have been ridden hard. But a cat, if that truck is sound that would be one good ride.
