    SOLD I'LL TAKE IT.....NOW where's my darn wallet? Nice looking truck, I would like to do the same thing someday but my plan was to air ride a little window Pete or needle nose K dub, then put a sleeper on as well (not a coffin) my 6'4" don't like crawling through window holes

    Pine Bluff Transformer out of Pine Bluff, AR used to run similar Diamond's to the southeast, GA FL, etc. Late 50's. Had a cab over Diamond running west, driver called Wild Bill..
    Truck had the 1st 400 Cummins I laid eyes on at the Chevron in Colton.
    Bill wheeled in, got out, and strolled over to some guy full of KW pride. South'ed off, Gollee
    wish I had yo truck and my engine... Y'eah, What kinda engine you got? I got a 400 Cummins.
    Next words were: Can I see it? So Bill graciously jacked up he cab.

    Angle parking is the best . I wish all truck stops had it . Is really easy once u get the hang of it. Its the only time i could actually look like i know what im doing ... plus if the lot is big enough between rows , u could nose in

    Not much room to play with at the TA in Commerce City (Denver), but normally I agree angled is good. Still there's no reason to build it where nosing in, or blindside are your options.

    Sitting on i80 by Ames monument because of "debris in road".

    Are you talking about a 1099 Volvo and driver or something else?
