What's do you think about this for flatbed?

mid 70 white freightliner cabover?

 

Seems pretty old. I guess your looking for a cabover?

This week I was on Loop 410 in San Antonio near I-35. I looked to my right, and there are about 20+ Walmart Cabovers sitting in a lot. I assume they are for sale. Don't know anything about them, though.

 

Not really. Was wanting a w900, but this truck and a trl is in my price range. 15k for both, he's been using it for belly dump work. Just need a cheap good truck for my first one

 

That's the kind of Truck I drove when I first started driving, yha I've been here a long time. sure hope you know how to turn a wrench.

 

What motor,trans,rears? Trucks from that time are geared for 55mph for the most part. Also hope you like dressing laying down. Always kept a peanut can to put change in.

 

It's a Cummings motor 13 spd trans, can't remember the gearing, it geared for 65mph, Im mechanically inclined lol. Figure run it for a year or two then get the truck I want, can't be to picky for my first truck.

 

Cummings?? You sure??

 

That's what he said. I havnt had a run up that way to look at it, had a mechanic go out to look over the motor, said it was a good deal

 

I always liked the cabovers. Perhaps nostalgia? How do they do fuel-wise compared to similarly equipped conventional? How about turning radius?

 

This thing will get 4.5 to 5 mpg. If I get it turned up I can get maby 5.5. Not shure on turning. Bet it's better than the t660 I drive now
