It's amazing how different brands of trucks have more/less room inside.
Like a Volvo, they are so big inside. I don't think I would want that. Most drivers today probably wouldn't want to drive a 359. I love the 359s myself. Myself, I like being able to reach over, and unlock the passenger door. Those 9200i Internationals I drive at work, you nearly have to get out of the driver's seat to unlock the passenger door. :lol: I have to admit, even though I don't care too much for 9200i, I do have plenty of room for my water jug, lunch box etc. I just wished I had more leg room. (day cabs)

Don't be talking smack on the B-Model. They are fighting words.:lol:

IN my Volvo 780 I can unlock the passenger door very easily from the driver seat or anywhere else! Thanks to the power locks and the remote

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt

Default Lonestar

I own an International, and recently went to the International dealer in town and looked at a LoneStar. $128,800. Awesome two tone paint. Interior was to die for. 525 ISX Cummins. 3.47 ( I THINK) rearends. It was sharp. They have an 8 air bag system like a KW w900..so the ride is like a cadillac. I can't say that about this International I have now...the ride is like a pete with spring ride....anyways...They said they would give me $25,000 on my trade...haha I wish. Payment would probably be about 2 grand a month!!!!

I wasn't talkin smack. I was just describing to GMAN what the truck looked like. :lol:


Actually, the guys I do farm work for have 2 'R' Models. Those trucks have been through I don't-know-what-all and they still pull a hole in the wind. They paint the sky black, but they run like scalded apes. :lol:

Open the hood on one of those things. Pretty tight. The air cleaner assembly runs over top of the engine.
