    And still have a POS
    Rather shimmy up a cab over than deal with a FLD

    I’ve got a buddy i haul with that’s got an 85 FL cab over with an N14 shoehorned in, that 3.9 mpg on the quarter is starting to get old after a few years….

    I don’t mind the old folds with something other then a fuel to noise converter in them but at this point between the family we have like 8 or 9 KWs in the yard and I have no interest in learning another parts system….

    “Orwell” nice old Keen Transport truck. There used to be an old hand around these parts that ran one of those for Keen back then. One of the few companies that ran big Cat power in company trucks.
