  1. Reading your post i find my self forgetting i was young once, buy wanting to say stay in school go to college or trade school and dont buy a truck, unless its with the money you earn off the intrest you earned by having a good job. Now that the parent talk's over, I run my v8 every week like I said here before. If you don't abuse it , it is in the 6 mpg range, if its a head wind and you're trying to make time you're in the 4's. i think the harder thing is finding a v8 in an over the road chassie setup so you would realistically end up buying a daycab and have to make the truck you want, stretching frames adding air ride, rear rebuilds, and v8 parts are not cheap and getting harder to find. you will constantly be working onit w hile working to make money. it 's very hard if your not setup with some one to make consistant money, i like the b idea but id stay with a six for cooling a nice hot rodded 6 is as cool as an 8 any day, so in my opinion buy a late 90's early 2000 ch something or other make money and build your dream truck on the side, so good luck and keep us posted thanks,

  3. i dont know if this will help, tire hight from ground to top of tire say 41 inch for an 11.24.5 low pro, times rpm say 1500rpm.= 61500. then div. buy rears 3.65. then the trans if its direct 1.00 if its over drive say .71 for a 9spd, then buy 336 its the magic number this should be 50 mph, you can change the math around to change gears or rears to your liking. or 50 mph times 336 =div buy 3.65rears 1.00 then div buy tire41should be 1495 rpmhope this helps

  4. found this in va on 17 north of yorktown, a 95 or 96 cl613 e9500 18spd mack rears, i dont know this truck or owner. brenda said its got 1800000 miles, said complete inframe at a 1000000 top end redone at 500000 said trans and rears were gone through at some point, gold bulldog but she said trans was a fuller? i saw its doubled framed and its rusting inbetween, the eng is well lubed nothing up front should rust. i think if you wanted to youcould put it on the road with some tlc but if you wanted it right it will need alot of work if that made any sense. asking $15000 brenda at 804 691 6311

  5. im not a fan of unions like he said i hate being in a steelmill at break or shift change, and breaks really, they have machines that do every thing cause its to heavy or to repetitous. but if there union can suport its benifit package congrats, if not tuff welcome to the real world, im not well educated but i work hard pay my taxes health care retirement and my house is payed for. no help just hard work, manufactureing its not just what they make its everything else they suport locals car dealers, resturants, fab shops, and how many mom and pop truck stops are gone and i dont like big truck stops but its not there fault, if the little guy could aford the tax, local and fed plus the regulation maybe they could just survive, also just my opinon, thanks
