That pic you posted look like a lot of the trucks here used to deliver drywall. Is that what you did on that truck?
I used to drive a large 10-ton delivery truck with a tired old motor mated with a 5 speed transmission, non airbraked. There was on day (long ago) I can recall being quite and exuasting, hot, sweaty day, and on the last delivery I hopped into the truck (after unloading the material by myself by hand), released the ebrake, took the shifter like I was putting it into drive on an automatic(completely forgetting about the clutch) and shoved it right into first. Well boy-howdy, the truck made a loud smack, a hop skip and a jump.. And continued on driving.
Scared the bejesus out of me, but after getting about a block all I could do is laugh and shake of the embarrassment. Luckily no one was around to see my ride that truck like I was going for an 8 second ride on a bull.
One of those days.

My first two trucks were sticks both rangers. I don't really miss them after having my automatic to tell you the truth. I think you should know how to drive one though. Im surprised at people who dont but hey.

serotta's out of North Carolina, known as barefooters or more politically correct 'the people without shoes'.
We git cars up here all time with NC plates.
The drivers are doing god knows what in there and it never fails,
when I honk at them the driver will stick his foot out the window and flip me the Toe.
