Check out what rolled into our shop today...
 

One of our customers bought a new toy. I think he has too much money myself and... well.... it is an International but I cant help but give him credit. Its a nice truck. No work for this thing. He admitted its his new pickup, ya, for driving to work and that stuff. Back seat is bigger then my jeep, also has like a 18" DVD screen in the back. Its about 6.5' to the top of the grille. Its big. Haha at least I wont be saying "oh look another drug dealer" when i see it driving around town. Says its a bit sketchy on ice. haha I wonder why.

He's from alberta isn't he?

but who built this thing. kenworth?

Pshhhht. He'll last maybe one day longer than the folks in Hummers in the coming zombie apocalypse. Tell him to man up, trade it in and get one of these instead:

And they're Canadian too! :lol: And only about a half million dollars to buy.

Hes actually from bc. Just has too much money. Its built by International.

I give him 2 days with that brush guard on the front. Ive never seen that conquest before. Wow I didnt realize you could get soo rich playing off peoples paranoia. But really.. That international gets 8MPG with a 9L Diesel Maxxforce. I cant imagine what those conquests get with a 6.7L ISB or a 6L V8. At 13000LBS id say they under rated that slightly. On the other hand if your buying a 500,000$ armored car gas mileage is probably the last thing on your mind.

That what you looking for to pull your trailer Steve (stircrazy) ?!? :lol::lol:

Maybe he can invest in the environment someday, seeing he has so much to give.

Look at the exhaust stack on that b****.

I've seen one very similar to that driving kids to school here in Calgary...It is almost as tall as my bus!

YES, YES, YESSSSS
 

nope to small and girly looking. that is a mid chassi so a class 6 truck, I want a full class 8 (high way tractor) the mid chassis are a nich market and very expensive where you can pick up a used volvo 780 or 880 for about 15 to 20K and put about 5K into it and you have a tower that will seat 6 and tow 80,000 lbs if you want. to get into a used mid chassi you are looking at at least 80K. plus the class 8 will get 12 to 14 mpg not 8.

there is one of thoes international sports chassis running around kamloops also.

Ok well I hope you dont have your heart set on 12 to 14MPG but I agree with your theory. We had a guy in last week, exact sort of setup your talking about. Had a sweet air ride 5thwheel hitch and a monster trailer. Was a sharp looking setup. Just had Pleasure use only decals on the side of the truck. Can skip right by the scales with that for some reason. I wouldnt turn one of those trucks away if they were giving them out though.
