How about something like this?





Fun to get sideways in the snow...


Just a few fun facts to throw at you.

12 1/2 feet high at the rear of the box
36 feet long from bumper to bumper
9 1/2 feet wide from mirror to mirror.. 8 feet wide without.
26,000 pounds fully loaded.
6 speed tranny
2 speed rear
airbrakes.
4.0 six cylinder turbo producing 200hp and 450pounds of torque.

I got her sideways on a busy road once, upshifted through the corner from a light and the rear wheels hit a patch of black ice.. the rear snapped around with the inertia from the turn as I cranked the wheel over and kept the drive wheels spinning.. made it almost 180 degrees out before she crept back inline with the steering.. when I got her straight again.. there was not a single car around me.. they had all slammed on the brakes and waited for me to recover. Definatly something to get your heart beating.

I have also intentionally spun her in the snow.. that was fun in a weird slow spin sort of way..

They are not a bad truck.. a little underpowered, but sturdy and can take a beating.. The driver who took over after I quite decided he could fit the 12'6" truck under a 10" high bridge... ripped the first ten feet off of the top of the box. My exboss called me in to see if I could fix it.. took me a week to restraighten the box, cut the proper sheetmetal, and rivit it all back together.. it almost looks professional
