Good luck getting a "Bull Dog". They are phasing them out. Also, you do know that thier new trucks are all automatics.

I know not all freights are auto. Look at one of them videos on the last page they are inside a freightliner and it is stick. So maybe there is hope for a real truck.
Now when im next to a pyle truck im going to have to try to look inside to see if i see a stick or not.
