Personally, I like the colors on a rig, but as far as solid colors, White usually will show less dust then high pigment colors. Mine is red because it came that way, but if I paint it, I'll stay with the red. Doc Weaver

I've never seen that before. that is wild

the buses have 4 wheel steering available now. that helps tremendously. I believe the bogey wheels are computer controlled. Doc Weaver

Since when do you avoid little cars Doc

I am so sick of snow. The big red truck has 18" of snow on the hood.

LOL!!! The problem I had with cab over trucks is the flat front. They kill fuel mileage and highway speed. The one I had (non-converted) was like pushing a garage door down the road. That aside, there are some who have done it. Doc Weaver

The problem we had with coils is that they tend to bounce if you're sleeping while on the road. If you only sleep while parked, that shouldn't be a concern. Doc Weaver

Roofer, BBF is right on the money. I bought a FL60 24' straight truck w/53k on it for $9K. I spent about $11k into the conversion (parts). If your willing to put in the sweat, you too can have a decent truck for $20k. There are lots of threads here to guide you, and if you have a specific...

http://www.foambymail.com/BasicTwinMedium.html this is where I got mine. They custom sized it for me too. I have been very satisfied. Doc Weaver

OOOOHHH YEAAAAH!! its back!!!!

Thanks Andy R for the site and support. Doc Weaver

It has taken 30 minutes for me to answer. Doc Weaver

DJ, I agree that the 4700 ride rough. I also agree about COE. I used to drive Silver Eagles and MCIs. The view is comfortable to drive. The only question I have is: I had an ISUZU NPR and it was awesome in town, but the flat nose killed my fuel mileage in the highway. Does the FSR do any better...

Sound like a discount to me!!!!! Doc Weaver

Firmani99, I have a 96 Tahoe and have run LT265/70/16 BFG TA KO for almost 70k miles. I just put another set on yesterday. They are supposedly as big as you can get without any rub problems (including tight turns, big bumps, etc). They aren't cheap, but they are well worth it. My truck has 174k...

About the frames.....I know you are not supposed to weld the frames, so does that disallow the use of a plasma cutter to cut the frame? If so, how do you cut such a hard piece of steel? Doc Weaver

I used "liquid tight" on my truck. It's much easier to work with than stiff conduit. We use it in our church AV installs as well. If it doesn't need to be waterproof, Parts Expresshas all sorts of wire loom. We use that too. Doc Weaver

What's the matter GK? Didn't you get the memo? It was announced just a few days ago (by the Global Warmers) that 2010 will be the hottest year on record. Doc Weaver in a snow drift

I've never used these guys, but they seem to have good prices. http://www.mobiledishmall.com/ Doc Weaver

Radman, I was in Mississippi or Arkansas (somewhere out that way) and in my mirror I see a DOT racing up the middle lane. He comes right up to the side of me......pauses....then pulls off. I guess he realized I was not a commercial truck. I was on my way too an afternoon like yours. Doc Weaver

They are starting to use LED lights in stage lighting. My lighting guy has said the same thing. They are very blue and unnatural. He calls them candy lights. Doc Weaver

My truck is just that (FL60, Cummins, 6-speed). As far as maintenance, I have had no issues. I picked the cummins on purpose though. The CAT option was very loud. The FL series don't have much sound insulation. If I can ever get time, I'm going to add noise protection to the cab. The 6-speed is...

I used the pillows on pick-up trucks, but on the big truck I went to www.uni-grip.com Doc Weaver

He described it as cutting the lower leafs to make a kind of mounting block. I believe his idea is to remove the help that the shorties supply without actually removing the leaf, thus giving more travel and less support. Let me know how it goes. Doc Weaver

Bob, That's what I thought. Mine didn't come with rear shocks either. I'm gonna channel my inner hillbilly (with some welding tools) and rectify that situation. If you hadn't noticed yet, I'm not afraid to try and fix anything. This is not always a good thing. A little fear might have kept me...
