Do you like the handling of the converted 610s when bob tailing...
I note a lot of weight on the front axle and
with the very short wheel base does this create
problems such as on bumps with the back end trying to spin out also on wet roads have you noticed any problems, I noted someone had put a very heavy steel plate on the back frame rails,
I would think the heavier the better???

Does anyone know the wheel base of the truck with the rear axle assembly left on and the front removed compared to the rear removed and the front left on.....and the pros and cons of each....

Thanks...

I also noted Volvo dealers have a plan they call Gen 2 (to dispose of surplus used vehicles)
This might offset the worry of high maintainance
costs, they had extended warranty for selected used trucks, I guess it is similar to the Freightliner Select Truck plan...
