Too many factors affect this from engine size make, configuration TT or ST, terrain, mechanical or computer controlled engine? weather, driving habits. But given all of the above I would think 5.7 to 6 would be a good starting point. I have thought about buying an old cab over ( for unknown reasons ) but no storage at home.

Where are those trucks at? a finders fee for their location? why so secretive?
they're fairly easy to obtain. Those are former straight trucks I take it? I say that due to their long frames... most likely former produce and/or moving co. trucks?

I would be putting a c/o to use as a straight truck most likely.
Perhaps an arrangement with a flatbed with a curtainside arrangement.
Or I may just use it as a semi with a pup trailer for moving my freight.

"Small" moves are a niche market that isn't touched in many places - because most people opt for U-Haul or a moving co. that usually isn't local LOCAL. The cabovers would provide the great turning radius that I need, but don't currently have.

In Florida @ exit 328 ? on I 75 behind the Pespi distributor there is/was a cab over Pete with what looked like a 28 or 30 ft box on it. I stopped a couple of times to inquire but could not find out much in the short time I had to stop. Might not be a bad idea to "bedbug" with a long ST.
