really big truck wanted

[2 doors]

Im in the market for a 8 axle curtain sider, must have a 9.5mtr deck
this will be the basis for my motorhome, so must have excellant mechanicals.
budget is around 20k
needed asap

[dirtyleppa]

do you mean a 4 axle or 8 wheel wal? any specific brand?

[dirtyleppa]

ill keep an eye out at work for you, but finding one with a deck that size for that price may be difficult

4 axle 8 wheel sorry, second hand obviously, there are a couple on trade me, but all in the north island
ROAD TRIP with 9.5 mtr empty truck and money in pocket could result in no money and truck full of datsuns lol

fair enough. was talking to salesman today and asked if they had seen many 8x4 curtain siders with a 9.5 mtr deck wasnt overly common. they said you can buy them, but not many people do it as you would have to extend the wheel base for the increased length, and that brings up a whole lotta stuff to do with cert etc. i take it you have an HT licence?

we have a couple at the moment, but neither are 9.5m long

heres the 1st one






its a 1998 NISSAN DIESEL CG380 with a 380hp turbo 6 cyl. has a 15 spd eaton roadranger gearbox, full air brakes etc. tare weight is 10800 kg

the 2nd one





its a 1991 NISSAN DIESEL CG520TZ with what i think is a 340hp N/A V8 or a turbo 6 cyl. has a normal H pattern 6 speed and i think is air over hydraulic brakes. tare weight is 10540 kg. this is probably more suited due to the lower deck height and smaller wheels

sorted, flew to Auckland and drove this back last week, took a wrong turn coming into wellington and ended up driving it through the back way into lower hutt, (highway 58) at night !
the cars in the mirror looked like the old coca cola christmas advert with miles of lights dissapearing into the distance, probably all wondering who would be stupid enough to take a 12 mtr truck down such a tiny road at night in the rain
