Welcome to the big boys club , there's nothing like them ....... Nice truck looks solid to me

 

[wreckerman893]

Put your big boy britches on and come on in. I used to swear at trucks with automatics in them. Now I swear by them. The old left knee has seen it's better days and I may never own another deuce again (well, I still have the M275 but it's deadlined).
Once you come to grips with the fact that just about everything on it is a hernia waiting to happen you can deal with it.
Bigger is better.

I want one but don't want to have to get the CDL.

Nice looking truck, you're going to love it!

I almost got a 925A1 out of Little Falls this week, wife told me I could go to 5K, I bid 3700, it went for 4100. Still kicking myself. Sparta seems to have a lot of real nice trucks.

NICE truck. I have both 2 1/2 and 5 ton. Pros and cons to both but there is nothing like the front of a 900 series staring down at you. Good luck with the unit.

I am getting a almost identical truck in sparta, When are you going to pick it up? BTW did you see all the really nice trucks in Arkansas ? Was going to get one there but they went out of my price for the distance i had to drive.

7413 2 after yours.

I feel sorry to who ever got 7414, it smoked like a skeeter fogger.

I scrutinze the crap out of the videos, there was a 928 that went last week that was not charging, it went high. As you noticed, many smoke pretty good too. Id rather pay a bit more and not buy a bunch of problems. Good luck with your recovery, maybe Ill see you there. Ryan

Yeah, I do also. The videos do not show everything , but a good eye and ear can weed out most problems.

You did good- the McCoy trucks are typically pretty good.

That looks sweet. I need to get a 105 also, I have a 101, too small.

 

[Hooper]

Awesome, thank you for that. I spent last night dreaming about the truck.

Have you found a cargo cover for your truck?
