This truck

it was that truck. no it is NOT the XT line of international, it was a 4300, which is a semi, the guy had custom ordered it, and put a 2002 Silverado bed on the back of it, all bright blue, he is putting dual 5" exhaust out the top between the bed and the cab, the thing sits high as hell (bed is prolly 4' up).

no clue what he uses it for, but its not completely done.

gets 10mpg city, and less on the highway (geared for city driving)

amazing looking.

here are pics
full truck
another
Comparison pick, the truck vs. F(350?)

See all the pics here

SOOOO SEXY

Neither is the 4300 MIKE ;)

it is too if it has a pickup truck bed on it!!!! ;)

it was a gorgeus car though. they guy who owns it, says he always wanted a corvette, and thats his corvette. he has crowds around the truck wherever he goes, and he now looks down on hummers.

Nice! Now there's an idea. Do you have a cost on the 4300?

63K with it completely custom like he wanted.

still would require a CDL though, the thing has airbrakes, and is insane.

the dudes loaded, hes one of the owners of a HUGE stone company here, i just get to load the work trucks of theirs with topsoil.

Wow, not bad! Still 40k less than a CXT, but there is no (or a very small) backseat.

Wouldn't getting an actual Corvette have been cheaper though?

you could probably custom order a larger cab.

a corvette wouldnt get the looks this truck gets, a corvette is "common" this car is just ungodly. im serious.

I normally despises huge honking cars, but I actually find this quite badass looking.

Hell, i think getting an actual Hummer, (not an H2) would also be cheaper.

figure 70K for that truck w/ the mods, and then figure 120K for the H1...

Yeah, but you won't have any problems parking a Corvette or going through drive-through's :p

Still, I guess it's cool if you're loaded and want something totally impractical that no one else has. But for me, and at that price point, I think I'd much rather have an Ariel Atom :cool:
