    I’ve been a single screw so long now that every time I see one of those I wonder how can somebody possibly get into anyplace smaller than an airport runway with it.

    One should not forget that this cab was also sold to Pegaso and Seddon Atkinson.(only in the 90's)
    BTW Setton Atkinson also bought the smaller cab From Iveco.

    as much i know man drop steering wheel knobs before 16.
    man had one interesting way of shifting gears it was on 6speed gearboxes, only forward and reverse position. if you are going to 1st you will press knob downwards and forward, 2nd rear, 3rd is forward but without pressing knob, 4th rear, 5th with lifting knob up and forward, 6th rear. dont know real name for it, only our own.
