LOL Frank! Let me paint you a picture:
Dad bought a 68 datsun new, and us three brothers learned to drive in it. We are all 6' tall guys. Sometimes we'd go load manure by fork into it.
Those things weigh 2000 and haul 2000, hence they ride like a brick empty.
So here we go, both windows down and an arm and part of a shoulder out each side, the driver had the brake and clutch, the middle guy had the throttle and shifter. The right side pointed and laughed.
