That is sweet! Do you have a class A cdl. I would assume yes by the garage. I have been told that you do not have to have one even if driving a tractor if it is for personal use. I have a class A, but there are racing guys around us that do not. They stretch a road tractor and pull a 20+ foot trailer that is surely over 10k lbs.
just curious I guess.

Again, nice rig!!!!

Does that have a gooseneck *and* a fifth wheel hitch? I saw a similar setup that was gooseneck only.

Makes my F250 look like a 72 Datsun PU.

Sweet looking! What kind of mileage do you get?

Smile My tow rig

To answer your questions yes I do have a CDL the total length is 74 ft. Which is legal here in Idaho for rv's. My fuel mileage runs anywhere from 6.2 up to 7.6 so far depends on the mountains we go over.I made the fifth wheel adaptor to fit on the ball hitch that was already on the truck. That way I can still pull it with my ford f250 if I have to. My pu. has a spartin programmer ARP head studs and ProComp traction bars to pull the weight.

Nice single exhaust pipe! (6"?) I like the old days when a truck that size has 210 hp.

Jumpy -

Should have told you earlier before you posted your pic and provided details about its length............ we have a length limit here on the forum for showing pics. Sorry, but you've exceeded it. By a lot!!!

I really don't think that truck is enough to pull that fifth wheel. You need to take it over a scale and be extra sure of your weights and everything.

I'm willing to take it off your hands just so you are safe......
