Lost one of the fleet today.

Today "red" died. She has over 400k on her and still runs strong but the automatic transmission gave up today. I've had this truck for so long that it's like family. If the body and chassis wasn't so used up I would fix the trans again and keep her around for another 400k. So her heart is gonna be moved in to a Winnebago chassis that I have along with a Coe cab. (I need to find a cab) as soon as I find a cab I will start a build thread. I plan on building a wedge truck to haul my rpu with and what ever else I decide to haul with it.

So that truck was a good investment right? You got your moneys worth there bud. Good plan on the COE too.

I'm guessing it's diesel, not gas, either way great start to the "new" old truck project.

It was a great investment. This truckk has made me so much money in the years that I've owned it. It certainly don't owe me anything.

Yes, it's a cummins. I won't own a gas dodge. Besides the Chevy in the back ground all of my trucks are cummins trucks.

Here's a Dodge COE cab I've never seen one of:

And apparently it is made out of gold:
