I am surprised that you don't have a Volvo or T600 on your list. Both are very aerodynamic. In fact, the T600 was the first aerodynamic truck to come out. :wink:

Cummins motor (because I have one and it works fine)

18 speed trany (because I live in the mountains and it is a mountain tranny)

geared to run 1550 rpm in 8th OD at 62.5 mph (because our local speed limit is 62.5 mph, or 100 kmph)

International 9900i (because my International dealer is a great guy, and his shop is half a block away)

As far as I am concerned, it is all crap in a can. You just get to pick the can.

No, it is the 72 inch model. There is a double bunk in it. There is enough room between the bed and front seats to put an extra seat in it. It is there for observation for the students. It is just a regular bucket, but I am going to have an air seat installed so the students can see better. And it will be a better ride to boot.

Ya, I get that alot. Students drive my truck, then go out into the real world, and find out what crap is like.

They all come back and say "Man, I had no idea how nice a truck I trained on, it was like driving a Cadilac". :lol:
