I will be asking $35k for this one, as it only has 932 hours on the meter and 17k km. on the speedo. It has standard axles, so top speed is about 55mph, but the gearing can be changed for higher top speed.
That's very reasonable. I have seen some 406s & 416s selling for more, that didn't look this good and had not had any recent work done.

Unless I was going to keep it long-term, I can't put that much work into the 404 because of the law of diminishing returns. They are great trucks but are a little less versatile than the 406 & 416, which limits their market.
