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?
