With two front ends, it wasn't necessary to turn it around for the return trip. After it wore out it was acquired by the owner of the trucking company that hauled the finished sheetrock from the mill. About 12 years ago the vehicle was donated back to the company.Steve Bogdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082644029535840928noreply@blogger.com
