    Then you have no bargaining tool but if that’s what you want go for it it probably has really low mileage and there is a big savings right there good luck partner…. Bob

    Ha ha I was thinking the exact same thing when you posted it mine was only 35 miles away but as I said I was able to drive it home the only thing I could fine wrong was the brake lights Of course as soon as I got off the highway there was a copper right behind me… Like wow man where are they when you need them ha ha bob

    I think I paid a little too much for mine years ago and I took a big chance it wasn’t even running had to put a clutch in it right where it was and then Pull start it … after I paid the cat… but I was able to drive it home when I did get it running…. But he look me straight in the face and said that was a running son of a bitch before The kid burned the clutch out of it and I believed him bob

    Don’t forget their fellows travel time if the rig is pretty close that’s a big savings right there you could get it for free and have to spend $6000 to get it to your place or more ha ha so another words if you’re over paying to begin with they are really taking a bath with a delivery but then again a lifetime ambition is priceless bob

    maybe that’s probably the way most of them ran . You would think especially back then they will be doing everything to cool them off I’ve had two Max with the shutters seems like what I remember they really don’t open a whole lot like you said.., .Bob

    Seems most of us feel the same way 5Gs way too much But the guy might tell you to beat it if you knock him down at all ….. 5000 bucks for years of fun and entertainment for yourself but trust me bud you will never see any of your money back ha ha….. Bob

    That’s interesting because the next thing I was going to add was I am almost certain They only use them for the diesels thanks for your input now they just use an air operated fan… bob
