    Thats a nice truck! My buddy has an '06 International rear mount 75' & its AWESOME! With the gas though its gonna suck. IMO, I would've only bought it if it was atleast a diesel. You're going to have a fun time pulling a chipper & box full of chips.

    What kind are you looking at getting? These are the ones we have on our welding trucks at work: Whelen TIR 3 Ultra LED

    yeah thats a real sharp truck... we recondition them where I work. I think converting it to the 3126 CAT is the best thing you could do, especially if you're in forestry. Good Luck. If that thing ever breaks down on you, we can get you parts or get you a whole new truck. www.buckettrucksonline.com
