We have a truck speced exactly like that truck except for it has no sleeper and a 430/470HP Detroit and we use it to pull dump trailers and have had no problems with it except it only has 481m for miles.

Ps. Gman I like the use of M instead of K.

M is so two thousand years ago! GMAN, you must really be an old fart to keep using those old numerals. :P

Hey, GMAN may be old but I'm only 27 do you call that old.

you`ll have no room for anything, I did some work to a 359 for a guy and part of it was ditching the 60 incher for a coffin sleeper, I drove it back to texas instead of trailering it and it was actually pretty cozy in that tiny sleeper but you could never work in it.

I need a big sleeper to keep my stuff in. I do a lot of paperwork in the sleeper as well, so I'd need more than a spot to sleep. I see a lot of those reefer haulers with these trucks and longwheelbases, and they usually look pretty sweet!

I'm not sure whether to keep it between us or try to find some type of medium where we could introduce it to thousands or even millions of people. :lol: :lol:

Well my thinking was is if I could find some local work doing power only the 3' box and shorter wheelbase would be beneficial, then later if I decided to do some longer stuff I'd still have a truck to get started with. What do you think?
