CrazyCooter Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Never understood why people list things for sale without at least washing them first. Isn't the reason we want to see pics it to judge condition? If that this was detailed out at a cost of $3-500 it could look like a $30-40K truck! 1999 Peterbilt 385 C12 430/1650 13spd 2006 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 2010 Hitchhiker Champagne 36 LKRSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDR Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wow people? I understand it's not finely detailed, but it is a truck (to most folks). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also, what is the reason for the curry remark? Curious?

bmzero Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 If I had seen this truck before I bought mine, I would have taken a serious look at it. Dirty, yes. Not maintained properly, maybe. Most of a good RV hauler, definitely. One thing is for sure, there's nothing $100k wouldn't solve on this truck.

sclord2002 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Deezl, if you come to the ECR in Crossville, TN, I guarantee that you will NOT be nitpicked and judged. You will just have a great time with people who have better things to do than that. Not many of our rigs are Show Stars, they are tools that we employ to tow our campers wherever we want to go. My rig with my home made bed, is for my enjoyment and not to please someone else. If they think my rig is "filthy", they are welcome to spit shine it 'till their heart is content. I might even offer them a cold beverage. Don't let the comments of a few people keep you from the enjoyment of a rally. I have not been able to make it to the national rally yet but I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that it is pretty much the same, spirit -wise, as the ECR.

Deezl, thereare only two other persons on this thread (bmzero, Rick and Alano) who was actually at the most recent rally (National) (plus myself), and your statement doesn't deserve to be pointed at any rally. Nobody on this thread said anything that even sounded close to what you're claiming and in fact ALL folks are invited to all of the rallies. There certainly isn't any nitpicking going on, and all of us enjoy all the different setups that meet the needs of it's owner. The only thing we can rightfully judge is your wrongful statement.

billr Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 On the website they say it's a 770 with the top chopped off and 670 top put on. Strange. Sure looks like a 730 to me.

The 730 is a slightly different cab. The sleeper portion of the cab is wider than the front (where the doors are) and about a foot longer. This one is a 630.

billr Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 So they did top a 780 with a 630. Neat. That explains the interior needs finishing. Still has potential I always thought about doing this but the inside work seemed to be the worst of if. Be interesting to see what kind of job they did with the roof.

Still has potential I always thought about doing this but the inside work seemed to be the worst of if. Be interesting to see what kind of job they did with the roof. To me, the entire cab looks to be from the 600 series. I don't see anything that hints at 780. Maybe I'm missing something. It's also possible that the guy writing the description isn't familiar with the truck and just guessed. We're probably the only group that would have a conversation about it.

Phil D Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 They may have put a 630 roof on a 670, but not on a 780. I'm with bmzero on this one -- there's no way that you can make a 730 out of 780 without a 730 roof. It's also the narrow cab with no side windows. Someone found a 670 with the drop-ship optional workstation installed in it, then converted it to mid-roof by swapping the 670 roof for a 630 roof.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Note to self: Never mind going to a rally. They'll just nit pik and judge you to death. Deezl.... I hate to tell you but at the HDT rally, we had new trucks, old trucks, clean trucks and dirty trucks (mine was in the later category.... never could understand a wax job and clean interior when I had 1,000 mile of bugs to drive through to get home....) but everyone enjoyed each others company and learned some new things as well. Some trucks had beds, others didn't, some came with a garage, mine had two extra doors.... The main thing is that they ALL made it to the rally and we all had fun. You should try it some time... If nothing else, make a run to the ECR... It is more of a social event with a fishing lake than something formal. In fact, mine is at work with me today..... Felt like driving it in this morning. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a new trend to leave items dirty on the sales lot? We looked at a Newmar toy hauler at Camper World in Greenwood, IN a couple of months ago. It was in sad shape, dead batteries, awning half out, one flat tire, dirty. The salesman mentioned that if we bought it there would be a $795 "detailing fee" to clean it up and get it ready for us. We walked, no, ran.

NTPA Announcer Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Judy and I have been to the ECR and are planning on going again this year. We were "newbies" last year and got treated like we had been there a long time. It's a great facility and we've made lifelong friends, and learned a few things too!
