    I can still see. Could you add some more lights down the side?

    I hope to tinker with some older iron when I retire. I routinely talk with a guy at one of my regular stops that has 3-359 gliders in his shop that were never built. He may be too attached to them to ever let one go but he likes my rig and I am slowly working him down.

    I’d like to but it took a lot of work just to add the extra 3 per side. It is a 1950 Fruehauf 26 footer. All steel and outboard frame. 5/8 thick. Weighs 8100 empty. Heavy spec for its time.

    Nice easy trailer to pull for fun. Heavy enough for a good ride and short enough to manuever around without worriies. Extra set of brakes on the rear help too.

    I have a natural born instinct to gravitate to things older then me. Pre ‘73 for the most part. I’ve always liked the later 359’s but an older something or other comes along and I jump on it instead. Sickness. Yes.

    I am 69 and have no desire to drive a 1955 Chevy with no power steering, power disk brakes, power windows, power seats, etc., etc. Newer cars have spoiled me. I even see my 2000 Blazer as old school.

    No I want people to stop being so self centered and using stupid lights that do nothing but blind others. Who asked you anyway?
