1986 superliner

[Mack-1986]

Hi guys. I'm purchasing a 1986 superliner with the e9 500hp engine and 12 speed tranny. I will be using it for my new business venture in the roll off bin business. Truck is in decent shape for its age and only has 240000 original miles on it. What are the pros and cons of these trucks and what do i need to know about it. Thanks in advance for the info. 

Here are some pictures of the old girl she's the same vintage as me lol.

Don't drive it like a sports car and it will treat you well.

I would one day like to restore this old girl. But for the time being I want to put her to work the truck is in great working order right now do you guys think I'll be ok running it day to day or will I go broke if it breaks down as parts are rare? By the way I'm from Canada.
