Yep, I am one of the oddballs!
For the money, you will not beat one of these trucks for a short haul heavy duty truck with an Allison automatic. The most recent rebuilds will even have air conditioning, air ride seat, and antilock brakes.
The AM General 915A1 trucks are what I have and they were made with common off the shelf truck parts. Some things take a little to match up, but you learn quickly how to figure it out.
Any one of my friends that has driven my trucks was very impressed with the power and ease of use. The guy that does my DOT inspections was floored on how good of shape my trucks are.
Try to find one that has been through a "depot reman" where it was all rebuilt from one end to the other.
The Freightliners are, I think, 915A2 trucks and bring much more money when you find one, but they have a front flipping hood which would be nice.
If you search on steelsoldiers dot com you will learn a lot. There are folks there using them for heavy hauls at their company, and the AM Generals quickly become the favorite truck of the bunch for that job.
