They're 7s with pickett elbows. I will be putting a rlk visor on it, probably the flat bottom ultra pictured below. I've got some square 359 headlights i'll be putting on and lolipops on the fenders, 3 glass watermelon lights on the front of the breather, maybe the same on the back in red, swap the square cab lights for bullet lights, shave the horns and put an air horn somewhere else(idk where yet lol) and probably space the cab lights evenly, or add two more. Pull the wings off, blank stainless cab and sleeper panels with some backlighting on the tanks, full stainless kick panels, too. Paint the fenders black, tanks black, put chrome/stainless straps on the air tanks, replace the shitty battery box and tool box, put 6 4" leds on the back of the sleeper most likely in a double l pattern kinda like [ l l ] on the back with the [] being the edge of the sleeper and the l's being how the lights would go, with 3 on each side. Maybe idk. Also, a custom rear lightbar panel that i'm going to have chase make just not 100% sure how I want it to look. Going to replace the 5 steels and two round hole wheels with all pete wheels. No caps, just lugnut caps, paint them black, I need to rough up the frame and touch it up with spray paint, and finish touching up the trailer, too. I also need to put sliding ratchets on the trailer, because the fixed ones suck ass for anything that isn't the lenght of the trailer or perfectly placed. A lot more I want to do but I could talk all day about what I'd like to do, we will see how quickly stuff gets done. I have to get a new clutch soon, and in the next 100k or so i'll need an overhaul probably. Pulls good but has quite a bit of blowby and some small oil leaks. Doesn't use any oil so far but i've only driven it about 800 miles. {Visor I want}

Small oil leaks? Shit man my street is trashed from your oil...I think it leaks worse than my A model with a pan gasket on its way out. At least your frame is nice tho...

There was a very, very small pool of oil, and 90% of that was blowby.

ouch that's a bad day right there, glad he was alright though. Wish I had the chance to grab a good shot of a wreck I saw a few weeks ago, trailer hanging partially off the overpass and off ramp looked like he missed the exit and tried to climb up on the grass or something lol

Loading some orange, beet, tomato, and lemon juice for some 5k runs in Indianapolis and Minneapolis. Fueled up next to another '98 9300. Loading fish for Kansas City. This guy says he runs dedicated Chicago to Michigan. Traded in the 9300 for this '11 Prostar. It's been fully Egr and Dpf deleted (Only reason we considered it) and has a 10 Spd with 2:64.

Love those Prostar dashes! Don't you get in trouble with the DPF deleted and EGR plugged? Here we have a annual MOT where they test on emissions. If you exceed the emission standard then you don't get an MOT and you are not allowed to drive the truck on the road.
Save trucking!

We don't get messed with here in the US. Especially not in Florida. And the plus side is we don't get an annual inspection in my county. So no-one around here really cares.
