A thing of beauty, very nicely done. You certainly could not build that one for the asking price. That should be in a museum.

Yes, very nice truck. I have seen it on ebay off and on now for years. It is a beautiful truck but it might be a white elephant. Everybody thinks it is cool and be cool to own, but who can afford it or keep it garaged and maintained. It is not something you take out for a drive on a Sunday afternoon to get ice cream.

Maybe you would not, but I would and my wife would be right along with me. s would be the order of the day and I bet there would be quite a few.
You're right, expense and storage would hurt. I like the bigger trucks but have to stay with the F350 and F4 series. Can you imagine replacing tires on that? Bad enough to buy six.

That is what I am saying, Ray. Expense, storage, and how about state registration for a Big Job? Beautiful truck, though. And how about the air compressor on the engine. Maybe a business owner that could use it for advertising and parades...

I've seen that truck before and agree it's a looker! I wonder if it has ever been to any of the ATHS shows? You tend to see some of the bigger rigs there. I like that the listing for that truck is very detailed about what it is and what has been done to it. Much needed in my opinion when asking $50k for a truck and... not like the fake MH that was just on eBay!

Yeah.

That one is a beauty! It's been for sale for quite some time. Not a LOT of people out there in radio land that want to spend that much on one like that though

I would have to live in it. It is pretty and it looks like it is perfect! I think it is a toy for millionaires.

I looked into buying this truck about 2 years ago ! The guy that built it was out west ,it was an old fire truck . The broker for the owner wanted $129,000 for it back two years ago. I think the guy that has it in Ohio made a offer had now he s trying to get reed of it! I wonder what he got it for. It was for sale on truck trader .com

If you close your eyes and spin around 5 times rob your eyes with your fingers real hard then open them
You can kinda see this looking like the yellow one


Some day!!!

If I was a big shot trucking exec I'd buy that and travel the country promoting my biz. Chris I tried your suggestion of closing my eyes and turning around and I just fell down! LOL. If you get anywhere near Old Yeller above that will be one fine truck. Reserve me a ride right now in your 56!
