  1. I drove out 86 Brigadaire and a 70 Astro. I don’t remember I never had to use the wipers. I did like the Brigadaire Detroit 13 speed. It was nice and loud and bouncy. Not sure if I would want that at 66 ha ha. Bob

  3. I do remember the salesman telling me I was doing a pretty good job with the two sticks. I told him I have a little bit of experience with them. I only broke in on a two stick an R model. Then went to the DMV with a two stick U model but that was it. I never drove one on the clock. Bob

You know this is probably boring old people stories, but I got to thinking about B models and I think the only time I have ever been in one was 40 years ago I test drove a three axle B model they had for sale Los Angeles Mac dealership I was going to buy it, but I couldn’t get financed. They said the truck was too old to take a chance on….. bob
