Could you trade it for something that does?

You may not find what you need at NAPA, but no, parts aren't hard to come by.

Yeah, my truck driving career pretty much ended with that little mishap.

There is/was a really nice U1200 for sale in TN that I had my eye on. If you sold the 3-way tipper bed, it wouldn't even be all that expensive since people pay big bucks for those.

Funny, Bob, since what happened is that a guy in VA had bought this one to make into a camper. After finding out that a "square cab" would be far more suitable for that usage, I bought it and picked it up from the auction yard in Reno. It would've cost him a small fortune to have it shipped.

Nice, Hellcatcfp! Now just turn the cover inside out, to get rid of the cat head, and you're all set.

Yep, it's a 406. A 406.121 to be exact. This one brought the total back up to six, and you can kinda make out the forklift/crane (HMMH) and one of the loader/backhoes (SEE) in the background. These things are more addictive than blown 6.2s, I think.

You got gypped. Even a Nissan Leaf has a charger.

A week ago I wasn't even aware that there was such a thing, but as of Thursday I can add a tunnel washer to the list of vehicles I drive. Okay, "drive" may be an overstatement. I have yet to figure out the small forest of shift levers between the seats. But in the lowest range it'll supposedly...

You should've followed your gut instinct, Hellcatcfp.

A loose fitting car cover?

Easy for you to say. Those of us with fewer side windows (and round headlights) can't quite compete in that aspect.

Okay, that's a bit different than what I first thought, based on post number 45. Full width (102") enclosed trailers aren't anything unusual. It was having to sign a waiver that threw me off.

Well, there are always over width permits, but that would be a big hassle to secure one for every trip. I suspect those extra 3.5 inches aren't in addition to the normal 102 max, if for no other reason because those would be rare axles...if they even exist.

But fog lights are still number one on your list, right?

Are you saying for an overall width of 105.5 inches?? I hope not, as that could get quite sketchy if DOT notices.

Fiat 500 with 700+ hp? Okay, I'm in.

And here I'm trying hard to get 76K or more for my '20 with less than 1,700 miles on it.

Would you seriously want to tow that much behind a Durango?? I know that the J2807 ratings favor power, but physics still dictate that a long wheelbase and weight are very good things in a tow vehicle. To put things in perspective, I won't even tow an empty 18-foot car hauler behind my Ram...

Okay, GivemetheVIN keeps calling me back, but I won't let it go for 73K. A "local" Porsche dealer is willing to give me about 77, or up to 78.9K if I put it on consignment. In other words, get your butt in gear before this cream puff goes to some uncaring dealer. Please.
