I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these for my first truck and going OTR with it. I love them and they're super easy to work on. And you can find them dirt cheap since nobody seems to want them anymore.
I just bought a 1994 same truck 11.1 I bought to haul straw... If you have any hills at all its scary... Will not get to 10th gear even on flat ground with a 10 speed tranny when loaded heavy 70k Gotta stay going 54 in 9th gear
Im looking at 2 97, I gotta flight to buy and drive it. Kinda like a gamble taking the dealership’s word on whichever I go with. One is in New Florence, Mo and the other one is at Defiance, OH 🥴

You’re right. If you’re mechanically inclined I’d say go for it! Just be sure you know where to get parts from then you’re golden.
I bought my 1989 out of Ohio. I get a lot of hate because of its age, however, it’ll start every single time and several mechanics love it!
Mine will do the same! These trucks are golden!
I just bought a 94 Volvo WIA with a 60 series last month. I got some work done on it and just did my first load 2 days ago.
That’s awesome.
I’m getting some work done on my trailer now so I can start hauling

@@drakewalker8047 I've got a 12.1 with a 9 speed. Try using the cruise control, if it works. Mine maintains 65 mph with the cc
@@drakewalker8047 woowww. I won’t ever be that heavy! You might need to swap the transmission and differential, but I’m no mechanic
“It has spider webs on it but it’s all good” looks like I see captain America truck that’s crazy my work truck is from Tennessee!
Used to be a Watkins motor line truck
I have a 1995 International and it runs great for holding Containers..
Yes those internationals run strong!
💪🏽 i just bout myself a 95 WIA too
That’s cool! I’ve heard nothing but good things about these trucks!
And it's a super 10....even more awesome. You don't see many of those.
No you don’t, I actually had to learn to drive it when I bought it lol
@@daleteslaev The company I use to work for had me pick one up from Ryder and had to learn to drive it on the parking lot.
@@claytonbrown7100 😆😆
We both got a small training session right before we hit the interstate lol
Cool truck. You going to keep it a toter, or convert it back to a tractor? I have a 90 wia. Good luck with it, mines been good to me.
I just need a few more parts then she’ll be done. I converted it already. It’s on my recent video!

97 is a good one. Hopefully you have a tilt steering wheel. Mine doesn’t have one. Just make sure you check it out thoroughly. 👍
Most definitely!
nice rig man, spend a lil bread on a comfy driver seat and you're ready to earn some money
Stretch it make a twin axle then u got a old but cool truck !👍👍👍👍👍
I’m thinking about it!
@@daleteslaev my father drove a 1998 all over the us it was almost new when he started for a company out of river falls wi it was HDM
@@anthonygreener3843 that’s awesome! I’m sure he enjoyed it very much!
Does it have headlights from a volvo 240?
The headlights itself was original. I just switched out the bulbs for LEDs.
Just got 97 she tough
I bet!
You have a Detroit 11.1 super 10?
12.7 with eaton 10 standard
@@BiggTruckDriving not bad 👍
is insurance expensive on a truck like this?
It depends on what you’re hauling
Nice truck it wou.d be even nicer if it was doubled
I agree 100%!
Looks like an old clapped out Watkins unit
I wouldn’t doubt that at all.
It's a B7TL
