Just wondering, Does your wife hire you out to neighbors to wash 2nd & 3rd floor windows and clean gutters, trim trees & bushes?

Having a 65 ft tall rotating ladder would have it's advantages to most home owners!

Neat old GMC! I spent a lot of time co-piloting for Dad driving two GMC tiltcabs, single axle tractors hauling livestock. Think they were 401 powered and 5speed trans and 2-speed axle. I remember one had a "Working 5-speed", meaning you shifted from high 3rd into low 4th, then low 5th, then to high 4th, and finally high 5th. The trans would work it's way out of 5th gear, had to wrap a rubber tarp strap around gear shift to edge of sleeper bunk. If you had to downshift you shifted axle.

I sure liked the GMC tilt cabs better than the CO-190 Binders or Emeryvilles!
