We run old trucks. 82 Pete EXHD 359, 85 Pete short hood, 86 Pete EXHD 359, 89 Pete EXHD 379. The old 359s to me are comfortable to drive, plenty of room, the 379 seems like it's too close and confined to me.

Thanks for the well wishes guys we are in NYC now getting more chemo and Sunday we'll be heading back home for a couple weeks. I think the best thing about older trucks is that there put together with nuts-bolts and steel not plastic and clips making it esier to customize things like the dash pannels etc. etc.

Cool post guys! I thought I was the only crazy one in the world who wanted a "BIG RIG" to play with. My dream truck is a 60's "B" model Mack. I drove for 20 + years and I do miss it. I would love to restore a B model and use it for RV purpose's. Hmmm! maybe some day after I rebuild my Dodge 85 Crewcab. Thanks for the interesting posts...Augie

I have been thinking of getting one, just to have along with a box trailer. Either just drive the truck around sometime, and use it with a trailer to carry my stuff around when needed. Those trailers for pickups are just too small sometimes, and certainly too flimsy.
Many times I have seen complete rigs for sale for ~10k-15k, but with a million miles. Are those with 1 million miles on the engine in such bad condition (mechanical wise) to be such a low price?
