Depends on what truck it"s in. A long-nose, flat-top Pete, yes, it"ll take that. A more aerodynamic truck, with full fairings, and a condo, not going to take as much.
I could see a 1/2 MPG difference in fuel use (and 25 minutes shorter trip time) from Erie, PA, to Wytheville, VA, when I pulled a Thermoking reefer vs a dry-box. A Carrier unit was only slightly better than a drybox.
That was a mid-roof 9400 with a 435 C15 and 13 speed. What a dog that was. Roof fairings would have gone a long way but the guy I was driving for geared them like you would an old B model (way too deep for the C15) and they couldn"t see any difference in fuel mileage between roof fairings vs no fairings, so he quit buying them.
We could run 80 MPH all day on flat ground. But the gearing was so wrong, you hit a mountain, and everyone you passed in the last 20 minutes, went back by you.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
