    It’s a 94 377 with 500k actual miles. Was a west coast truck its whole life so no rust.
    It hauled a horse trailer for a private farm so the miles are low and the cab was barely used. All around in good condition.

    The engine is worth more than the truck.

    I have no idea where you live or what you plan on doing with it, but you will be banned from the entire state of Cali for the trucks age. I think they've actually enacted that legislation.

    Go for it. Not Commiefornia compliant though. Good deal. Very rare to find a deal like that.

    I bought my current truck in my avatar for $22,500 in 2020. It’s a 2013 ISX-15, 13 spd. Now that was a steal……

    Dang, had I stayed with the container hauling, this is exactly the kind of truck I was looking at. $20GRAND?? Boy, the market is in worse shape than I thought. Just a glut of semis on FaceBook Marketplace. Great time to buy one, probably the worst time to actually run it down the road.

    I live in Massachusetts. The truck is on the east coast to be sold. I’d be using it to haul horses also.

    probably going to wind up doing a full infame

    I’d start at like 12 if the interior isn’t trashed, I’ve been watching t600s are back town below 10k

    youll have 60-80k into that truck in no time

    Is it a c or an E model? Trans/rears?

    20k would get you a hood pre covid, I paid I think 15k for my truck in 2017
