    KIMG0290.JPG I didn't like this truck at first but she's growing on me, I bought it because it was in such good shape, or so I thought...

    I'd like to stretch it to a 285wb someday though.

    I threw plenty of money at mine the first year. Seems now I tend to spend money warding off more expensive problems that haven't quite happened yet. It's cheaper that way. You have a lot of hustle compared to me so no doubt you'll continue to do well.

    Nice ride! That's about the only model International built that I like. I'd honestly take one of those in a flat top over a 379.

    @Logan76 i spent about $45k in repairs and upgrades on my truck and trailer and did almost everything myself in the first 1 1/2 years. Now I'm working on the shiny. Old trucks cost a bit the first couple of years. Now I don't think there is much left to do mechanical. I don't regret $1 dollar I have spent on the old girl though.

    Well maybe the second transmition I had to do?

    The trucks look awesome you guys! I am way behind on polishing mine. I'm thinking after harvest is done I'll have to spent a couple days in the shop getting mine shined up again. It is dam hard work but in the end it is rewarding.

    I was at little sisters getting polished beside this old timer in an international...he says "screw those stuck up Peterbilt & Kenworth guys, an Eagle flys alone."
    I got a good chuckle out of it.

    Impressive what you have done so far, things you have added along with the sweat and elbow grease you have personally invested, it's sure paying off.
