i'm not quite sure but i didn't saw you doing "double clutching" when shifting...why? as far as i know your New Process transmission are not sinchromesh.

BTW: nice truck with nice color scheme.

@enterBJ40

Around 1:08, i put the transmission into neutral and coasted down the hill.

At 1:16, you can see and here me rev up the engine and drop it into gear.

Thanks, the colors took a lot of work, and we were (as all are) super nervous how they could come out

What do you think of that 5.83 gearing,when I hear you take off in the vid I could really hear that she's geared right down,1st must be supergranny!Ever think about putting a 4.89 in her?

[chance9888]

@snillocl Hahaha, I've considered it, but I feel it wouldn't be a worthwhile investment, because the car i more of a weekend car

[snillocl]

That is a sweet resto,did you do it all yourself?I have a 1950 B-2,dragged it out of the woods last fall...sent the engineblock out for valve job this week...Ihope someday it looks as good as yours.Have you entered it in the PW registry at T-137?Mine is # 685.
