I can't beleive you didn't high bid it and figure out how to pay it later.

That was a deal though. I hate that I missed it also.

He probably has one buried in that big hole behind the shop.

There is a nice White one on the side of I-10 before you get to 610 East. It had what appeared to be a Freightliner tractor.

tomtbone1993 01-22-2009 04:49 PM

no, i was looking for something older like this, with real long wheel base, like a bobtail box truck and pull off sleeper and put my own conversion back on and bumper tow whatever i am gonna pull. need it to double as a motor home and would like enough room in the back for a jeep or a mini. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting

i really like this but it isnt cheaper than my truck now so it defeats the purpose :)

fuq, guess i need to pay my membership then i can post it!!!

bigandy 01-22-2009 04:55 PM

never mind that........freakin $75 for 1 year membership now??????

Needs about 4' added to the shifter and 18" cut out of the top and it would be money.

And none of these will ever be cheaper than your truck. Oil changes and brakes alone added to the 3-4mpg alone will kill you not counting clutches, air filters, DOT inspections that you still have to have for private use.

These things get bought because someone wants another toy.

Oh, and keep you eye out for a nascar trailer. Someone I know is looking for one.

If it really gets that mileage, then it is not pulling it very fast.

A friggin freightliner delivery truck with a 4cyl mercedes diesel doesn't even get that good. And they weigh next to nothing when they are empty.

There is a piece of the story missing somewhere.

bigandy 01-22-2009 05:17 PM

this is on ebay, like what i want minus the trailer

70 yr old man, dont think he would lie... says right there, empty 60 mph it get just under 20...

over the road truck loaded gets under 10, no reason to think something smaller with efficient mercedes motor wouldnt get twice that!?!?!

That's why I said, it wouldn't pull it very fast. A 40' coach will get 12-15mpg loaded also, when you put the 250hp engine in it, but try to get over the mountains or pull your jeep behind it and it sucks fuel and won't take off for chit.

Put the 400 cat in it and it will pull a dump truck and every possible thing you want in it at the same time, but it gets 5.

Same reason that international pickup truck is a POS except fo the fact that it looks cool. No power in it.

That was my only point. I think it is a good idea, but there is no way that it is a price justification over your ford. No possible way to do the math. I have done this for work purposes also, when I used to travel a lot and wanted an RV to work out of.

You just have to admit to yourself that you just want it so you can be the big balla.

What's for dinnier, Anyone hungry. I am starved.

There is a conversion place on 2978 that does the custom freightliner toterhome conversions. I used to pass it everyday going to Augusta Pines. They always had some cool $hit out front.

If the Hauler has good brakes and does not need rubber you could get a full return in a few months. :cool:

What about the insurance, DOT inspection, and all the other epensive things that it doesn't list having been done to it recently.

It's an awesome deal though if it is work ready.

That is why I said it would take a few months and not a month to geet your return.

That rig could bring in around 10K a week with a good two man crew.
