    I was too bullheaded to do the reaching through the steering wheel thing. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing in the world when I first heard about it and was hell bent at getting good with one of those without having to do that.

    Shifting one at a time?

    Them old coots were hauling big weight and little motors back then. Needed every way to keep them wound up. Paul had a duplex in a Super Service White with a flathead gasser till he put a 180 Cummins in it.

    Simple. Don’t try a range shift going up a hill. ;)

    I only ran those in Macks though, which had the “big” engines compared to that baby Cummins.

    Perhaps, but the E-6 was more than a match for those IMHO.

    And 43 is old enough. ;)

    I'll be 39 in 4 months and feel the same. That E6 was no power house, but man could they take punishment and ask for seconds.
