1st gens

I am seeing more and more 1st gens in my area. They seem to be well taken care of machines. Good looking too. I guess everyone wants a diesel now that diesel is almost 3.00 a gallon

Huh, I only see one other truck regularly in my travels around Delco. Where are they hiding? I see lots of them in Chester County, though - and most of 'em have a load behind 'em.

Very few in my neck of the woods. I can count all the ones I've seen since I started noticing them after I got mine last summer on one hand.

We've got 8 or 10 around here, including mine and brother's. I get asked all the time if i want to sell mine, but after it pulled the kind of load (overloaded)it pulled from Arizona to Texas without breaking a sweat....it will live happily here on my ranch.

I probably see about 10 1st gens per day here on average. Most are like mine, that is a 3/4 ton 2wd, but there are a lot of 2wd duallys here too. Not many 4wd trucks. Maybe 1 a day.

Now, 2nd gens, too many to count. 3rd gens, sometimes I will be setting at a redlight with 3 of them. They are everywhere.

I live a little west of you guys in the buggy county and have a 1st gen w350 up the street, and 3 first gens down the street at a mulch farm, and a stacked 2nd gen 2 roads over. I guess I live on a cummins lover road.
