[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1717709, member: 14668"] We called the old GMC high-steps "iron maidens" because they had the ergonomics of a medieval torture rack. They had high steps, narrow doors, cramped cabs, non-adjustable low-backed seats, manual steering and an underpowered 4.3 liter V-6 with a 4-speed manual that kept you frantically rowing through the gears in a futile attempt to find some sort of a power band. To run a route in one was to spend 10-12 hours fighting equipment that was intentionally designed to beat the crap out of you and make the job as difficult and dangerous as possible. [/QUOTE]
