    Yeah man. Good chatting.

    I think the 45' back swing door is the same as a high side.

    Unchain, unrachet, pop it and stand way back! Then pull off and hope you can close it without a yard guy lifting the door up enough to get it to close.

    Man the struggle is real. If I'm not mistaken didn't the high side have a U shaped bottom? In the open top 45's you still had residual scrap caught in the corners and along the beatup bottom

    Yeah we are on the same page now. The ones I pulled didn't have the tarps and one was from the late 70s. I think the older one was in better shape than the newer ones.lmao

    The ones I pulled had tarps that usually didn't work or if they did, they'd get stuck in the up position when snagged on a piece of pipe or something. Then I'd have to climb the ladder and navigate to the problem.

    The more I think about it, the more I love my curtainside. Lol. It's ugly, but it doesn't involve climbing on loads.
