we was keeping track on the new listings at Truckpaper.com for weeks. lurking for the right deal. when this truck showed up i called the seller right away. he was confused
he told me he just sended the add some minutes ago
the truck has 800k on it...little things here and there but overall the truck is in good shape.
new hood,fenders and grill (looks like she had a little fender bender; the pass step and tank have also some marks) new top on trans (shifts and feels realy nice and tight) engine feels strong and healthy.
we choose a Pete 379 because they are known for great ride/handling and superior straight line tracking; even with all the miles under it our truck still feels like a tight little hotrod
the only other truck models i would use for a fast toter (our speed limit here is 75mph) like ours would be a extended hood 379 (would need to make the trailer 8" shorter to stay legal
) or i would love to build one based on a KW K900 (i try to talk a friend into selling his underpowered MDT and letting me build him a K9/autoshift
)
