  • 1970, 18 yrs old. 1st driving job, summer, Houston. Building hwy. Dump truck, 6 mi rt, 81 cents p load. 22-25 a day.

    I was put in a '64 B-Model Mack, no A/C, no P/S, w/a Quadraplex.

    Wore out shift linkage bushings, square shift EVERY time or linkage will hang up. Floor plate off, lug wrench to pop linkage loose when you do hang it up.

    Screw up, pull over, start over again.

    Dreamed I was shiftin those two damn sticks for first 4-5 nights.

    Every truck I drove after this, it warn't so bad.....

  • the man really knows his gears

  • floating twin sticks damnnnnn hes good

  • @Xbox360GamingLive Your close but no cigar. The left hand stick controls the aux portion of the transmission and the right hand stick is for the main box

  • looks confusing!

  • and to think when i learned a standard 5sp and that seemed pretty difficult at first... but now, holy crap

  • @DSMTurbo4g63 It was less complex than having a transmission with more gears.. The one stick shifts the transmission, and the other shifts the rear differential. In my mind, it's like having two simple transmissions, instead of one more complicated one.. At least I think that's how it works.. Not bad for a 15 year old if I says so myself! Hope this is right, and helps

  • Brings back memories!!!! I started my career with a 49' Pete needle nose.... Loud and hot as an oven.... I tell you what rolling to an intersection was the norm in those days, time that green light because you didnt want to start off in 1st gear direct.... It be 5minutes to get thru that intersection... The gear ratios were low and powerfully strong..Radio? Stereo? hell there was NONE... you wouldnt hear it any way.....

  • make every vehicle with a tranny like this, eliminate the problem of people texting and driving

  • I'm New to trucking and I always wanted to know the need for 2 shifters????

  • An artist at work......

  • Two people can only drive automatics...
