Stick shift/clutch (yes), 4-door/long bed (yes). Flatbed about 18 ft.highgrit":2hvt7ppm said:A stick shift is a lot harder to back up. They don't come with granny gears anymore. And yes a small trailer behind a 4door long bed is tuff and add a clutch and it really gets fun.

Just driving through pittsburg is enough of a nightmare, I did it in the mid 60's.Calman":1hemwme0 said:If it was not for side mirrors I don't think I could even drive.I dont ever even look at my inside mirror.
Several years back I built a small trailer to haul my 4 wheeler on,and when I get to where I'm going I unhook it from the truck and hook it to the 4 wheeler and load tools and go do what I need to do.Since it's so small I cant see it in my mirrors I put it where I need it with the 4wheeler or just pick up the tongue and back it in by hand.
A nightmare was back in the early 70's driving a west coast rig and being downtown Pittsburg Pa. and trying to jack back into one of their loading docks that I think we're built for straight trucks only.
