Olivetroad Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I want it, I want it bad. It has been on there with a buy it now of $9000.00 if I remember correctly. I just put the first bid down, but I bet it won't be the high one. I just wish someone would slap me upside the head for being so tight - everytime I buy something nice, I usually can talk myself into forgetting how much I paid anyway.I just bought a landoll trailer and I can see that old girl pulling it down the road. I have 7 trucks I have bought all over the midwest in the last few months that I need to get home, I think I am gonna go out and see how many DOT tickets and gallons of fuel I can run up in a month. It has been a while since I did much out of state hauling, I may need help brushing up on my lingo: chicken coop, big road, comedian, large car, come on.

They really like that one.Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I wish it had a little higher gears for highway work. Are those straight 24 inch tires on there or 24.5 you think?

Freightrain Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Does look familar, not sure if that is the same faded red truck I've seen for sale before? Can't believe it has a 5x4 behind that 300. You would think it would be a 6spd 2 stick? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
