Ya, kinda not completely FE related,,,,,,,,but it does PULL my trailer for my FE vehicles . So, it's not too far off base..
Pretty Cool Ride in the B Model Larry !! I think I counted 31 or 32 shifts in that 3 min..clip !!! I take it the right stick is your Low and High range and the left one is you main gear box??

HA!!! Man, I was skip'n gears all the time!! For the most part I can shift only 5-6 times to get up to 55 mph. There are 15 gears, and I use only a few most times while bobtailing. If I actually started in 1st Lo, ther would be a WHOLE lotta handle moving going on. The left stick is the "compound/splitter", and the right is the "main" box. It's a 5 x 3 (5 main, 3 com.), giving 15 spds. You split each main 3 times(if you want). I thought about doing a full 15 gears.....but I did not want to wear myself out...LOL!!!

It can be fun to play with...but in a lot of traffic....it can be a pain too!!!

Wooo--Hoooo, now that's what I'm talkin' about

I certainly understand why your cars are shifters now. That was fun!

Thank you --Mike

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Ya, you can't be an "auto" type guy and run a truck like that. Just don't work. Couple truckin' friends told me to switch out to a regular 13 spd. NOPE!! Ain't happen'n. That's what makes it a real "old" truck....twin sticks. If i work it right...might be ADDING a third handle!!!! LOL!! I want to add a extra brownie box to add some MORE road speed. 65 mph is all it runs...we want MORE!!
