My dad had one that looked alot like it,when it was all white, it had a 300 Cummins, 9 sp. Transmission, and 4: 11 rears, top end was like 61mph...he bought it new, it was a solid little money maker for him
Not professional? More professional then a lot of professionals. End of the day it's about what YOU want. Thant said, awesome video and outcome. Truck turned out really nice and looks like you guys made it safe and roadworthy instead of getting the old girl running "enough" to move.
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing and taking the time. All these random gate keepers going on about their "real" transmission configurations crack me up
An 18 speed is a single transmission. All this is is moving the convenience of the air valves being in a common place on the shift nob to the dash and a second stick as a novelty. A true twin stick is truly two separate transmissions. As more and more trucks become automatic you'll eventually see people hook long sticks to automatics as a novelty 😂
That means the other sticks is the splitter? Is that just kind of an older version due to the 18 speed with just one stick (including splitter and range selector)?
To all the people hating on it for not being a true twin stick, most of us realise the old proper twin sticks like Spicer boxes and this are not the same thing. If this is your thing then enjoy the vid. If it’s not, move on. Far too much negativity in this industry now as everyone seems to expect everyone to do it their way or it’s wrong. This guy has made a fun mod to his modern box to enjoy his driving. No one said you have to agree with it or like it.

@@pleasetakeasip4556 I just recently got to ride on one that had a Spicer box, I believe 6+4, it was bonkers tho and got to drive it around for like 2 hours...didn't think shifting could get anymore complicated lol
U can shift 5 gears with first shift and flip high switch on the dash shift last 4 without going back to the lo hole and every gear can be split with right shift... lol
Yea, but how long have you been teaching? Exactly. IDK what the second stick ACTUALLY does. He NEVER explained it. IDK what high/low meant. NEVER explained. There's a reason for truck driving school. You CAN'T teach this 2 or 3 minutes.
HAHA okay get an ugly truck that's not fun to drive instead of an American truck that fun to drive and looks and sounds good. Go somewhere else and spread your hate instead of clicking on a video just to hate on a truck.
as i was finishing my 40 plus year driving career went to work for a very big company , head mechanic gave a truck drive test if he saw a driver use the clutch he gave a warning , if you used it again , he would end the test and you job application .
@ronald6138 I appreciate that, back in the day (when you actually had an auxiliary transmission) you may have had to double clutch. These days with modern sincros if you can't match the road speed (smoothly) with rpms, you probably need to find another line of work
@@brentdale5730 No it wasn't, Quadruplex and Triplex Transmission was the only way, not this gay 18 speed two stick pussy shit. Even a clown like you could drive it.
