    I’ll admit I like a 386 flat top with the stacks behind the doors and a flat back sleeper.

    I’m not a KW guy at all none. But them ol T600’s with a chrome bumper and stacks behind the doors with a flat top were absolute lookers in my opinion.


    I’m not saying KW is any less than a Pete. Had I grew up different I may have a different opinion. The clutch and brake pedal, where the steering tilts makes them a no go for me.

    As does anything from Pete that’s newer than the flat 379 dash. Petty yes deal breaker still yes.

    I rarely tilt a wheel. I run it straight up like a ‘59 hook my elbow on 1 corner and grip the other side. These new wheels that have an ### cheek in the middle makes that impossible. I also sit up when I drive. It burns my ### to get in my boys truck way he lays down going down the road

    I have a brother that drives like that, sit flat on the floor, and leaned way back.

    Tie one around his neck and let him drag it around awhile. That might break him from it.

    I can clarify that, and not being there...
    "They" (mgmt) wanted it fixed fast, and Dale is fixing it right. So goes life at the trucking company... Always.

    SIL tried that and I think it helped for a little while then the poor old dog just couldn't resist another chicken. I think it's like a car chasin dog.Once they start there's no stoppin them. I've lost 4 this year and one that got his leg broke a few days ago from being stupid. He lost the race, but he's still around.
