Hi every one, I have a 1995 Volvo
Engine Detroit 330
10 Speed
Tandem Axles
Wheel base 210"
At this time 80780 miles. I would like to know if I can update it with a 24x102x102 dry box, if so could anybody tell me where?
I'm thinking of starting as an Espediter driver in february

Thanks. Fred

Please post two dimensions for your truck:
from the bumper to the steering axle;
from the bumper to the back of the sleeper.
Those two numbers determine how much of a cargo box you can safely and wisely mount on your wheelbase.
If your truck is a former tractor, you will need to extend the frame rails.
If the present wheelbase does not accommodate a box long enough to suit your needs, then you may wish to cut the frame rails and stretch them.
Good luck!
Doc.

In addition to DocRushings questions, make sure you know that the carrier you choose will accept a 95.

Stretching Class 8's

Fred,

I'm located in Southern Ohio and I can stretch it for you. Including box and new ICC bar. But as they said...do you have a job for a 95 model? Give me a call (740) 645-2121
