I want it for no other reason than I dig it

 

nah, too far

 

thinking about swinging through the bay area to see my buddy on my way up to WA this summer but driving the CCLB Ferd through SF gives me anxiety already

 

Where Tf is Oxnard... California?

 

Wouldn't be bad, SF is more of a traffic nightmare than a tight quarters nightmare, just avoid Chinatown

 

driving a 22ft long truck in traffic isn't exactly fun

 

It's not particularly fun anywhere but I've done it. My buddy had a 99 with CCLB and a 7.3 so I drove it around Seattle for a bit while he borrowed some equipment from me

 

Sure why not.

It’s not that bad. I drive downtown all the time.

There’s worse places... like Manila.

Lane markings? Simply a suggestion.

 

Some of our hills are so steep, the sidewalks are stairs.

 

I swear every other week there’s news about a truck or a limo getting stuck on one of the hills around here.

 

HELL no....that would suck to have to park with your rig leaning sideways like that all the time. I bet that fucks with people's suspension after awhile lol. Hell some of our trucks might even tip over.

Not to mention being a manual trans owner's worst nightmare

 

Oxnard then Ventura then Santa Barbara. Best Coast

 

I sold a seat part to a San Francisco Fireman this one time, and I went to go deliver it to his station. I tried parallel parking on an incline and it wasn’t fun. Had several angry Taxi drivers honking and screaming at me the entire time.

 

A fully kitted out LandCruiser 80 series, with a much higher COG than a Taco can still drive perpendicular to a 35 degree angle without falling over.

 

I'd fake them out and start to back right into them, that will shut them up

 

What I’d really like is an old CalTrans truck with a traffic advisor on the back. Flip them on and people will get out of your way.

Plus if you take an orange cone with you, you can park damn near anywhere you want.

Think of any company utility truck. Chances are it’s a White F150 with a light on top.

Would work good if I did Amazon Logistics or DoorDash here in SF and had to double park.

 

Easy...try a 40' heavy duty tow truck pulling a day cab with 53' trailer...
