    Are you sure that's a 670? I thought only the 780/730 had the window in the sleeper.

    Driver claims it's 670. And if you look at the size of a cabinet between the seat and a bed it looks like 670.

    Black grill on otherwise chrome trimmed truck, no Volvo emblem. I'd say that's a good guess.

    Typical D-bag, still parked in the fuel island when already fueled-so it seemed.

    The 770 has the same size Sleeper (77") as the 780 and 880.

    As a matter of fact the VNL770 was the predecessor to both of those trucks as the Cab/Sleeper design was used to produce the current VNL780 and the former VNT880.

    The only thing the 880 has over the 780 is the hood

    Plastic dash with very few gauges in one spot,feel like I'm gonna turn over in every turn,worst in the world to work on,shifter is in wrong spot,and no matter how low I set I still feel like a big dummy setting up for the whole world to look at just some of my personal opinions though
