Thats why I'm looking at one with a bit more miles. I don't want to have to go through shortening the frame, drive shaft, air hoses. ETC. Id rather buy one with more miles already done and been well taken care of. The black truck has a DT570. Should i pursue the black truck instead of the other one? When should i expect to do a over haul on this engine with 335k on it? Tom
-
Do you guys think i should pass on this truck cause of the miles? Do you think 37,000 is a offer i should throw at him? Tom
-
Anyone know of a Independent truck inspection agency that can look at this truck for me before i fly out to kentucky? Tom
-
The long wheel base one with 168k on it is 52,900.

you willing to take the long drive out to jersey, full expenses paid for? gas, food, hotel etc? LOL just thought id ask. EDIT- i found a truck, 2007 4400 tractor cab with sleeper, shortened wheelbase with a 5th wheel and with 335,000 miles... Whats your thoughts on this truck with 335,000 miles? Price $40,000 & it has a eaton fuller 10 speed Tom

Hard to come by! There was one a few yrs ago with a manual, but he wanted wayyy to much.

Looks like someone got it running! Not a bad looking truck if you drop the price a couple g's... Or a lot of g's... Tom

One eight hour day at $125, would be about a grand. I would do a grand if anyone is willing to do it for me and who has experience. Who lives close so New Jersey??? LOL Tom

Thats a good idea, Maybe just move it up one of the sections of the drive shaft. I have to ask for a perfect side shot so i can see where the axle is now and where it would be moved up one section. Great idea. Thanks!!! Mack pics coming in a few minutes

Two pictures of the truck, as requested... Tom
-
Damn thats a lot of $$$. Do you think just a regular vehicle shop in town would be able to do it?
-
Yep i got a few pics actually! Thats what I'm looking to do, Shorten the wheel base but still leave enough where it looks like i stretched it after i shortened it. I hate when the trailers are so close to the cabs. Id like to do a pogo stick right in the middle of the frame with a nice deck plate. Tom
-
Thanks for the help freightrain! Ill see what i can do. Tom
-
it is air ride and air brakes! Id just be nervous as this would be my first time doing this with little to 0 experience!! Tom
-
True true!! The only problem with that is, finding the time, along with the space of having a 318 inch wheel base truck in my driveway with the tools. lol Do you have a guestimate on what a company would charge? Rough guess is perfectly ok. Tom
-
howdy guys! Sorry this is not mack related, id just thought id post cause you guys know it all!!! I have an opportunity to purchase a 2010 International 4400 exd cab for a great deal. The only problem is, is that it has a 318 wheel base. Im going to use this truck to haul goosenecks along with semi trailers. How much can i expect to spend to get the frame shortened? Thanks a lot guys, Tom
