    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".
