Maybee some cruiseliners.I know its been a LONG time! the Cruiseliners were short lived when they started phasing out Cabovers,think mostly freightliners and peterbilts now? last time i was past there (Vineland HQ) they still had a F-model wrecker sitting inside the fence.........................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
