Well I will not be doing the singling myself. I was an aviation electrician in the Navy so I can solder circuit boards and changer out micro components but welding is way beyond my skill set. As for the truck purchase, I'll likely work with the North Texas dealers who also have a dyno on hand. I'm definite on the Volvo 780 and I've learned that not all dynos have the Volvo proprietary software patch. I can do that with Bruckner in DFW (Dallas or Fort Worth) and then have it delivered to Herrin welding in Kilgore for the singling and maybe the bed install with an ET hitch. The dealer may have other suggestions and in Fort Worth I can also have it done at IP Until I get my Texas Class A, my Dad can drive it (he has one for their Airstream Land Yacht motorhome). IPtruck (industrial power) Fort Worth is also a singling option but I think I read somewhere that Herrin is also helpful in the RV registration for the truck.
