I am not the Original Poster of this information and I have no clue what thread it is in, and I hope someone can find it as I am only going off knowledge laid upon us by another poster.@OldAce am i getting this right??? David's Pete that he hadn't driven yet (but it was a headlight away from being on the road) may have depreciated in value since he flew to California to buy it????
ETA & OT: sorry but hopefully these old peterbilts being discussed have the older style of round headlights....yep, REAL nice looking rigs - SHARP even. (ooops my age is showing ha)
BUT, sometime in the past few years California made trucks without all the new specs and environmental upgrades not able to be licensed. Therefore there were a ton of old Peterbilts and other trucks for sale in California. They were selling cheap because of the new law. David's truck would have depreciated in value in California but not where he was in Iowa if that makes any sense at all.
