    Try getting a series 60 12.7 Detroit excellent engine or 3406 cat or c15 cat (not twin turbo) or a 3408 (v8) or a n14 black heads no six no dd none of that your cheapest and best option is a freight liner classic with a Detroit series 60 500hp or 475 500 is better tho

    I'd keep Blackie but that's not my answer. My answer is sell both and buy a Volvo 860. It's not a popular opinion in these parts but it is mine. Your kitties will be very happy with all that space.

    Seriously though, I love that interior man. It's super clean. Plus, if you're getting 8 mpg and with older drives, you'll increase fuel mileage once you put new drives on. It's tough though because there ain't nothing like driving a well broken in truck like Casper. I'd rock Casper too
