I'd throw your maximum amout you are willing to pay for the thing and if your bid meets his reserve price setting, wait for the end of the auction. I certainly would look at the truck first however being not that far.He may sell it for less outright. I'd talk to him straight up. Sure looks like a nice truck and I knew you weren't far. I've worked at the Texarkana radar site in the past so somewhat know the area myself.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

randyp Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hey rob, yeah, i just went and signed up on ebay. I did learn there that reserve is minimum price acceptable and is kept hidden from bidders. I dont think info on sellers is available, not sure, but would like a phone number or adress. I would go look at it today definitely. Looks like a well cared for truck. thanks,,,randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Randy -I have had some sort of dealing with that guy on ebay before but I don't remember what it was - his name is Rick and his number is: (903) 794-9921I only give you this top secret info in the hopes you remove the gay lookin sun shield off that fine Mack if you buy it. I also require that you have matching mud flaps within 60 days of purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as mudflaps, I'd run those old style Barry has with the dogs facing each other. I have them for most of my trucks and they are very good quality.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I would look under them, almost all the trucks this poor man has bought with them on had problems with the bedsides they were hiding.

I would look under them, almost all the trucks this poor man has bought with them on had problems with the bedsides they were hiding.Some put those on cause they like the look, some due to carrying heated asphalt loads, some to conceal dents from demolition work. Guys around here use plywood painted black, or in a contrasting color to go with the bed.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

fxfymn Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Don't be shy about asking any questions of the seller that you want. Any reputable Ebay seller wants to answer any and all questions before the sale so there are no surprises when the sale is completed. If you want to know the reserve; ask him. The worse you can get is an "I won't tell you" reply. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

randyp Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That is a good looking truck, cepting all that gay shit. It was getting out of my budget anyway, so I finally just bought other one i been haggling over. I would have hated to load shit and pond scum in the ebay one anyhow. It didnt look like it would enjoy "Dairy lagoon duty". LOL....randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That is a good looking truck,got to agree though,that "gangster" visor gots to go! i see a lot of those drop visors (especially on paccar junk) so damn low,i dont see how you can see to drive! course; the majority of peterbilts i pass,the drivers are sitting on the floor,guess its better to look "cool" then actually see what your doing/over the hood?...............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

slpwlker Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Truthfully it is more relaxing and comfortable riding down low. you can stretch out straighter. Idk had a buddy tell me that thought he was full of it till i tried it. But I am all over. seat up,down,up to back into a spot or manuver. might ride low for a while if out on the highway. but start hitting alot of bumps and the air goes back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
