    We have a couple T600's and my only real gripe is the mirrors. I don't like the rectangular spot mirrors for some reason.

    If I could put the steering column out of our '03 T600 in my '00 W900L I think I'd have the perfect truck.

    T600 wheel comes closer to you and tips more vertical then the W9. That make sense?

    I suppose so. Had me thinking maybe it had a vent built in to keep the fellows cool/warm :0
     
    MJ1657 Thanks this.

    Speaking of which: how come no one has a moveable vent on a vent hose so you could slip it in your pant leg or position it to blow right on any given area? Like a dryer vent style hose with a clip that I could clip to fabric/shifter/something

    Most guys around me look down on anything but a W9. But it is what's under the hood that counts...

    And I don't really like the plastic trucks , but I got in a new T880 at the dealer last week. And it was pretty nice. A Heavy spec tractor...bla bla bla.

    At one time they did in cars and pickups, look at some of the older 60's and 70's into the 80's cars we drove.... Anyone remember the vent right "under" the steering column in the dash?? That vent had a specific name too. It was designed originally with the "working woman" in mind, such as secretaries not lot lizards.... Straighten up now :biggrin_25520:
     
    Ruthless and MJ1657 Thank this.

    Funny how this brings back some old memories.

    My grandpa always drove 70's and 80's Chevy Caprice Classics. They had that vent down by the column.
