if it was immaculately clean and he had a receipt for the recent in frame maybe i`d pay 20k, but I do have a soft spot for 359`s.


i`ve give you 15k sight unseen, although you did say it was really clean already :lol:

 

Thanks Brian.
No receipt for the last inframe, that occurred while the second owner had it. Rods and mains were done last year by the previous owner, I do have a receipt for that. The previous owner did a good bit of work to it actually.

Rods and mains
new air bags
new air compressor
driveshafts (I'd have to look up the specifics)

He changed the oil every 10,000 as did the first owner. I'd have to get the papers out but theres a few more things he did as well.

 

Thank you mackman

 

Congrats, what are you going to haul? Are you going to run your authority?

Pics are coming as soon as I get it back from the shop. I'd like to finish buffing it but it's getting cold here now. Maybe I'll get one side finished and give you a profile shot.

I told the my mechanic to take his time.........and he is.

 

If you stay local a 24 year old truck will make it
because you can always go home if something breaks
but remember that are parts on the truck that no one can see are
worn out or already broken
1.2 is a lot of miles
and the phrase "in frame" ...............well you get the idea
it may be in "great shape"
but its an old truck
and you have many hand grenades with their pin pulled on an old truck
you have to crawl under and look around constantlly
( on one of my trucks I just stopped looking so I would not have to fix anything)
and you will be constantly replacing stuff
doghouse note well too
you find out that all this $$$ put into the truck does not increase the value
you have to run it x more miles to "get your money back"
which seems like a never ending cycle
(no matter what you paid or put into it,what does the insurance co intend to pay you if is totaled?)


it goes with the old truck territory
I've been through it since 1978


They will know you by your first name at the Peterbilt dealer
good luck
and stop at the Church
and put some Holy Water in the Radiator
