So I inherited what was left of my dad's collection of semi-trucks and parts when he passed last year, I've re-homed most of them but I've got this old narrow-nose Kenworth still hanging around. Truck isn't really good for a working rig, it was supposed to end up as a toterhome type thing that he never got around to. It's an 8V71 backed with a 4+3 so it'd be miserable to work if a guy wanted to without repowering, aluminum frame so you can't really stretch it like the show truck guys want. Personally, I love 2 stroke Detroit racket and I'm not trying to make a living with one, I think I could squeeze enough flat-bed on the back for my flat fender and/or just drive around making noise and smoke.
Problems with this plan are of course insuring it and my lack of a class-A. I don't have time or really the desire to go get my CDL just to fuck around with this thing on the weekend. How are you guys running big-trucks as a crawler hauler/tow rig handling the legal side of things?
I believe at one time the old man was going to do enough to reg it as an RV, it's got a big Aerodyne sleeper on it right now but I'd really like to put the old 36" flat-top back on it which makes it kinda tight to meet the RV equipment requirements. Apparently if you get it licensed as an RV all that pesky commercial insurance and air brake endorsement stuff goes out the window from what I've gathered.
