Jim, On the East coast I haven't ever seen a useable 915 tractor up for sale
or auction. But, There are a LOT of Freightliner FLD 120's out there that
have the same cab and front nose as the 915 6x4 tractor. You need to change
the front bumper to Channel iron and lose some chrome/stainless trim and
paint 383CARC, Voila!! domesticated 915. Just a thought, John T, owner FLD
120, and a lot of MVs
