I studied the photos again and believe I know why this happened: One, needs a Dodge in front of it, not no GM; and, two, gotter have boots on to manhandle the big rigs, not them little shower shoes. (But you boys east of the River ain't allowed a western hat . . Nashville and NASCAR proves that daily).

My rig measured 63' truck front bumper to trailer rear bumper . . and the spread on my tandem axle 34' was 25' from truck rear axle to forward-most TT axle. Gotter have a Cummins low end Torque to horse it up over the neighbors curb and cut that 2,400-lb steer tire across their grass to git 'er out, hey, quick . . . .

And I'm a might bit suspicious of Yanks and fancy Easterners tryin' to tell me that the brake control goes on the RIGHT, or that ya'll also use the right FOOT for braking or clutch work . . . it's always a two-step shuffle dontcha know.


(Hope that appliance panel straightened out)
