After searching around for quite awhile, we finally bought a truck to convert to an RV. It came from Dallas and was delivered last week. It is a 2000 FL70 with a 72" Bentz, 22' box, 3126 set at 250 (going to bump up), Eaton 6 spd autoshift, air ride, and rigmaster. Not a bad truck. We took...

We will be hauling rockcrawling rigs. The reason for the 26' is so we can fit two in the box.

This will be tagged as an RV. We are allowed 45', so that won't be an issue. We would be hauling about 10k though and sometimes a trailer with 500# tongue weight.

How much rear overhang do you have with your box? Is it single or tandem axle? How much weight do you haul and what are the axle weights? We are trying to determine if we can get by without moving the axle and swapping out a 22' box for a 26' box.

We can stretch a truck and put a 26' box on it if the money is right. I know the 26' is a stretch, but if we can find something that will work that would be great. We are going to register it as an RV, so we are limited to 45', but still want to maintain maneuverability.

OK, we have looked all over for a truck to haul our competition vehicles in and just can't seem to get any good answers. We are looking for something that will fit the following criteria. Is this at all possible? What would it require? Does anyone have proof of their truck getting the...

The problem I see is that a 3126 falls on it's face at 1500. That will make driving hills suck. I know a C12 or Series 60 like to be at 1500, but that is a totally different engine.

What would be a good rear ratio? When I sold trucks, most of them were in town and had 4.56's. Would 3.90's make that big of a difference? We would really like to have a class 8, but want something with 26' box so we can fit two rigs. Our price range, $15 - 20K, limits us also. This one was...

We went and looked at a truck yesterday for our rockcrawling team. It was a '03 FTL M2106 with a 275hp 3126 and a FSO-8406A tranny. The rears were 4.11's with LP22.5's. The truck has a 26' box with an 8' attic over the sleeper/cab. I had a palm pilot with the cat software on it and we took...

The problem is that we are having a hard time finding something that isn't trashed out. We need something with a 26' box and at least 250hp. The sleeper will get converted into seating for trips, and a walk-through into the box will allow us to move into the back while going down the road...

We are looking at a M2 with a 3126 for our rockcrawling team. We have looked at quite a few expediters, but I'm not sure on what the average life expectancy of the 3126 in the long haul. I am familiar with the city trucks, and know that 300k is quite a few on them. What kind of mileage are...
