The Truck

It is cool. Looks like some kind of rapid response vehicle or mobile HQ vehicle. You should get it wrapped with something cool like a Zombie Response Unit or something like that. You have a very cool blank canvas there.

Good looking truck. Nice to see it work out. Now I have to see the karts or bikes or whatever caused you to buy this damn thing. I met you once, at one of Kyle's non-rally Palmetto things, I was down from Ontario and parked across the street from you, and I thought your bus was the best looking thing I had seen in a long while. I seem to recall some bikes too, you had a big stacker trailer. I got two new bikes this year, a really nice 1959 BMW R26 that is almost perfect, and a road warrior 2005 Honda ST1300 that I plan to tour the local sights on next year.

Nick it's 13'2" at its highest point. This is the one I was asking you your opinion on a house A/C unit.

Oh I forgot that you were using this for carting. So how much is the cheapest sponsorship for those things? I mean just a sticker on them?

Ace · December 08, 2014, 07:57:32 PM

Sponsorship? What's that? I'm a pay as I go type racer! LOL
Going to use it for my Harley too!

That's a nice looking rig, Ace. Is this your first truck rv? Been thinking about one myself. Probably be easier to work on for sure.

mung · December 09, 2014, 07:25:10 AM

Well Ace, I will make sure I have some of my band stickers at Arcadia and if one happens to make it on the cart that would be cool.

Ace · December 09, 2014, 08:14:12 AM

Yes Muldoon it's my first truck Rv. I think it will be easier to work on. But as much room as our bus but I've been in smaller rv's and they seem to work. We will see!

Mung absolutely! Always room for a sticker! LOL

Ace, exiting! Are you trading the bus against the truck? I forget now. Or is the bus for sale?

Ace · December 09, 2014, 08:59:51 AM

Not trading which is good! I bought the truck straight out!

You get to have both for a while. And compare. Trucks are great, but I bet it is hard to beat the quiet, smooth ride of a bus, especially your Prevost.

Pros and cons about both platforms, as Ace will soon see, and no doubt be reporting back to us. I'm looking forward to his insight, as I often think a truck like this might
be a better platform for us with the changes that have taken place in our lives over the last decade.

Good going! My truck is right at 13'6". You'll be fine. Great that you have it now. Good Luck, TomC

Ace · December 09, 2014, 09:55:26 AM

Thanks Tom! Been following what little I can of your build! Although this one is partially done I feel what I spent in the condition it's in, I'm still money ahead!
