O.K. my truck is a hercules non-turbo with the exhaust
coming out between the two rear axles.

I have heard alot of people say they wouldn't have a non-turbo
truck.......please tell me why this is??

My truck runs great !!!!!!! I know your supposed to use first gear (
don't get into a sprag discussion), but
if I start out in second, it will pull right out into trafic and keep going.
( Yes, after reverse, I know to actually use first gear...if only once. )

I have never driven a turbo truck...but have must of the turbo owners ever
driven a non-turbo truck ???

I am on the verge of buying a 1954 Studebaker-Packard
M-35 with the Continental gas engine.

Maybe I'm taking up for the non-turbos because that just happened to be the
type I was lucky enough to buy.

Comments please !
