[QUOTE="soberups, post: 656783, member: 14668"] For over a year I drove the "triple deuce"....it was a 1960 Ford slant-nose P-800. Wooden shelves with solid supports that turned the area under the shelves into a cage. Wooden bulkhead door. Solid metal roof with 2 little "portholes" for light. Ignition key on the [I]left[/I] side. The engine cover protruded halfway into the cab and you laid your clipboard on top of it. 300-inch 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual with a granny gear. No power steering, and the brakes locked up automatically on wet pavement.The mirrors were functionally useless; at speeds over 40 MPH they vibrated too much, and you looked at them thru the windshield in the area outside the arc of the wipers. It was the Truck That Refused to Die. [/QUOTE]
