    Boy, that seat brings back memories of my lowboy days...with a White daycab, 10spd, 318 detroit - and almost the same utilitarian dashboard! Just needs a couple of kickvents on the doors where the peep windows are!

    For these classic style trucks with the ~20 instruments, can somebody give me a list of what each instrument is? I'm not a trucker, but I'm a pilot, so you can understand the fascination with an instrument panel holding four times the guages of my truck.

    '09 Volvo. Notice seat mounted auto shift. Completely wussy, but that's the way things are going.

    That's pretty. I like the inside of the Volvos 'cept the wood trim.

    I drive an '04, identical to that one except for the ten speed transmission.
    All of our '07s and up are automatics.
    They used to sell them when they hit 500k but now are keeping them much longer. Can't blame them, way things are right now.
