1959 Kenworth repower test drive #2 part 1

Taking my 1959 Kenworth out for the 2nd test drive after replacing the engine and main transmission. Still getting used to the 5 speed main 3 speed aux combo so shifting skill still needs some practice. Big Cam Cummins NTC-400 and Fuller TO-905C replaced a NHCT 270 and Spicer 4 speed.
