Not having been behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler since I drove a Marine Corps semi on Taiwan in 1958, there's one thing I'm curious about.
Truck drivers rant on and on about how a big rig cannot manuever or stop as easily as a 4 wheeler. And they can't.
Then, why in the HE11 do truckers insist on driving like they can? My previous post about mental defectives and idiots wasn't confined to 4 wheelers.
On the way home tonight, in a 75 mph zone, one truck was going 65 in the right hand lane. Another tried to pass him in the show off lane. The two trucks ran side by side for over 5 miles before the one decided he couldn't make the pass and backed off. There was a three mile long traffic jam behind them, including many other 18 wheelers. I happened to be in the right hand lane behind the truck that being passed. When the other idiot finally decided to back off and pull in behind, I had to hit the brakes and the shoulder to keep from being creamed.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
