Yes the 68 did turn out to be a 67 ladder truck.
The gas peddel just fell off and was laying on the floorboard.
Then the slide linkage for the tilt cab broke free from the gas peddle when I tilted it up to see what was wrong.
The linkage had been cobbed up before I got the truck.
I can repair the old style linkage, but a cable system may be a better design and last longer.
I can still move it in and out of the barn by kicking up the aux throttle.
This thing does run good and as far as the fuel milage goes, it's cheaper than running a boat and draws way more Chicks.
