    Delivered this one to First Energy Power Station in Harrison,WV this morning.

    Swung back the way I came in and had lunch with @OLDSKOOLERnWV , at a very nice establishment with great food - offered to fight him for the check, but he graciously declined to have the locals witness the 'tractor guy' beating immigrants in public.

    Thanks again Sir, always nice to catch up with you. Funny to think, you were my age now when I first bought a truck. The time slips by.

    The 90" sleeper that has a sink, but no shower (and presumably no cassette potty) is kinda like buying a 3,000 sq ft house with 2 rooms and a half bathroom. Sounds like it's a great example of a 48 year old truck - in storage etc . . . How much would you guys pay for it?

    Which leads me to this question. In the last 2 years, the way things have been, I've considered many options I hadn't previously. One involves selling my truck. I don't know how old the guy selling the 90" sleeper is, but might find myself in the same position in 0 to 10 years from now. What is my truck worth? How much would any of you pay for it?

    It's a 1995 379, 12.7. 13 speed, 3.55 - the entire drivetrain has been gone through in the last 5 years. I paid $45k for it. Have all repair and maintenance records on it.

    Most of the guys that looked at it when I bought it, intended on ripping the sleeper off and putting a dump bed on. It's great for a team operation, slight overkill for what I do - I just wanted the shower and the crapper, to be honest.

    It's insured for 50k, which I should probably address, but would have to have a series evaluation and some market comparables, and the insurance company to be on board with it. Because if it burned to the ground today - I'd be woefully out of pocket replacing anywhere near close to it.

    What say ye?

    YES ! Yes it was.

    And the folks round there are very polite. More so than my neck of the woods.

    Were your ears burning?
