How would you come up with $250k to build a similar unit?

Would that be something like $100k for the new Freightliner Columbia chassis and $150k or so for stretching the frame and the cabin conversion portion?

Do you folks know of websites where they list build prices of trucks and conversions? It's sort of a mystery that nobody discusses openly.

And for the math error, 2 years of pre school, 8 years of grammar school, 4 years of high school, and then add 5-6-7-8-9-10 years plus of college and I still can't multiply 17 x 3 in my head and get it accurate. I did it by multiplying 15 x 3 which equals 45 and then I added 2 plus 1 plus 1? What was I thinking or smoking?
