Re: Final question on T-18 vs T-19

[josad@domain.elided]

this young 'un knows how to use one.  got my CDL using an 89
international with a eaton 9 spd non-syncro trans.  now I always double
shift out of habit, whether I need to or not

goto http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Trails/6536/pics_2.html , there's 2
pictures of the interior of an internation COE, and at the bottom there's
one of the outside of "dino"
