    The rumors that the hauler being repo is totally false. There has been issues With the truck since day one. The latest is the floor started buckling which means everything in the truck needs to come out to be fixed. There is no quick fix and Scott is not sure if he wants the truck back. You pay a lot of money and you want it to be right. That being said it was his decision to got with a unknown company and you turn out to be their guinea pig.

          But it sure sounds better don’t it. Just keep repeating it and bam, it’s true in their heads.

              The story’s of I’ve heard about that POS truck are incredible. It sounds like that company never built a coach before let alone some really Mack daddy one lol. It sucks he paid all of that money to get such a POS

                  Lol. I did think it was weird you were going all out and chose a company that wasn’t tried and true with haulers. Whether it’s S&S, 5150, Wildside, Featherlite. Not sure if they are all still in business, I know S&S are.

                      Looks like TK Industries has plenty of experience building custom trucks. Some of the problems with things like floors could be the fault of flex in the truck chassis. perhaps the truck chassis isn't stiff enough for the intended use... I had a Kenworth straight truck with a 320" wheelbase and the frame would flex about 6" front to rear which damaged the back of the sleeper. I should have put a frame reinforcement into the truck when I built it (yes my son and I stretched the frame and built out the sleeper). Lesson learned.

                        The International Lonestar is made in Mexico, but it sounds like the truck itself doesn't seem to be the problem.

                          Those newer Farmall's have their share of problems... cabs seem to have a tough time keeping the doors latched at least that's what I'm hearing. QC seems to be lacking....

                            Let me say this,I HATE to see any one loose anything.
                            I don't think I could deal with it.
                            Even tho I say stuff to the 2 dirt bags on here all the time, I hope it is not true and wish him the best.

                              If Scott needs someone to pi$$ in a cup for him I can handle it .... I can’t drive like him but I CAN Pi$$ in a Gatorade bottle driving 75 on the highway while tweeting with my other hand and steering with my knee with a truck full of people ... I can Pi$$ anytime and anywhere
