and you still would not go any faster.
We need to bear in mind that these trucks were designed in a time when the roads were not high speed interstates. And were never intended to run over 45 mph. You can sit that cab on a 2007 chassis, or relax and live life at a slower pace and drive the old trucks and stay off the busy highways and appreciate them for what they are. | | |
