    Raceman, The tanks look good!! I couldn't really see them for the glare coming off those super polished wheels. Now how bout a shot of the whole truck! Don't forget a shot at night so we can see those lights. Dan

I had just had an overhead run in Jan. of 06 and the engine sounded great and ran strong. No smoke, no blowby...

    200k Gross?

    I don't think gross is the line you need to be looking at. You can gross 160K and still net more than someone who might gross 200K. It's all about managing your business and running profitable runs, maintaining your truck so repairs and break downs are few, and keeping a tight reine on your...
