You actually drive them backwards down the road. My friend got pulled over by a state cop for speeding on his, he was doing 65 on a 55 mph road. His doesnt have a cab just a platform, was pretty funny. I put air horns on it to wake the kids in the semi up so they can pull ahead as we load hay on it, very effective!

How did i miss this! that thing is awesome. reminds me of the stuff you used to read about in farm show magazine. i wish i still got that periodical. ill have to ask my grandma if she still gets it. i used to read it after we ate lunch and were recovering in the front room at grandmas(she makes awesome classic midwestern farm food)
as for your inlet elbow, yours looks like the OEM dodge stuff for a second gen. its 73* degrees.
i dont know what the PN i posted earlier references to, but it should have the same diameter outlet but at a 90* angle instead.
