    I know the feeling... And I try not to eat TS food more than twice a week. Ive probably gained 15 or so pounds... But I've always been a skinny, so it really shows. Gone up from 30 to 32 in waist in 1.5 years

    That's way too much truck for tucker. I can pay cash for one of the 50 possible trucks that would be a good fit for tucker when he's ready.

    I came across a '96 FLD that was like metallic pink. It had damage to the right front, probably from a deer strike.

    Someone had fabricated a new fender and headlight holder / bracket from plywood.

    I almost bought it on the spot, and was going to mothball it, until it is time.

    If someone gave me one of those, it would still be iffy. These trucks get like 8 mpg all day. And they are reliable.

    Landstar doesn't care why you are sitting on the side of the road. Especially in the can't get parts for truck. They aren't down with it.

    I see tons of those for sale up by where you are.

    Your not the first nor the last that X1 has issues with. I found it best to avoid threads he uses. Its a big forum and you still have good ionput that is welcome here.

    Yeah I see them too... If I KNEW I could keep it rolling I might actually look into buying one... But then again I dont have the capital to afford a major repair either
