    Default I can now post in here!!!

    Well i been biting my tongue for a while just in case the deal didn't go threw. I did PM Rosty and kranky about it. But i just bought my 1st truck.

    2006 Mack Granite has the 460 mack motor with a 13speed. Sits on air ride. 17.5ft steel body. Truck only has 143,000 on it. Here are some pics. I should have it by next wed. Tell me what you think.

    Dang man that's a damn good looking truck. Sorta has that old B-Model look. Only thing it needs is the twin-stick quadroplex transmission lol! Seriously it's a good looking rig.

    The alloy rims look great. The dashboard and the steering wheel inside look very similar to my 2004 International 9400. How much weight can you take with this truck legally?

    Yes, it really does look very good.
    Just one question...
    Where'd they hide the sleeper?????

    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    Forget the 5th wheel. Where's the sleeper?

    Nice!! have fun
    I dont know about where you live, but the DOT here has a new game where they watch you go around a corner with your wheels up and then give you an overweight ticket. please try not to participate in this game, it can be expensive

    Had some excavators working on my house a few weeks ago; they cursed the day they got a dump with air ride. Said it wreaked all kinds of havoc with their traction on certain jobs. I suppose you'd be doing mostly road work though; probably not an issue.
