We used to run these hard. Electric two speed axles are awesome when you get them singing. We used sodium filled valves and four ring silv-o-lite pistons (less galling when hot). Would cut slits in the bottom side of the radiator shroud and drop a ramp down a few inches. Lugging was bad and stopping too soon after getting off the freeway was worse. Good luck !

Haha I would drive that everywhere too if I had it. I'm 50 years old and miss how much style and character vehicles had when I was a kid. Today they're all over engineered, computerized, and all look the same with Chinese parts with a name badge slapped on the front. I daily drive a 1990 1st gen 12v Cummins Dodge D350 but am going to get something more vintage in the future. Thanks for showing this old girl off, we gotta keep these old ones going because they don't make them like they used to!

I love the style of them old trucks. Had one on the farm same truck. It was our bale truck. 3208 Cat.

That was a workhorse back in the day. I worked at Dr. Pepper bottling and we loaded these trucks to the max everyday! Those stick shifters you really had to make sure they were in neutral. They were a bear to shift when it was below zero.

Happy New Year greetings from the Ohio Porters!🇺🇸 You should have a battery door in the floor of that thing. They were bad about rusting though. Those springs really help raise the cab, after you pull the lock releases. I drove a 1965 C800 390 5&2 speed. It had power steering and I loved that truck!🥰 I even drove mine to school and vocational school to do the body repairs. Talking about a sweet truck! Mine had 8 track, CB Mount, lots of lights. Good looking little truck. Are those cherry bomb mufflers? Wowsers! I always liked the looks of those cabs.🥰 Good stuff! 😎🤩✌️

there is a battery door however the hole is not large enough for jumper cables comfortably. also the mufflers are basically 🍒 bombs but this peticular brand is purple hornies hoping to do more videos on this truck soon. currently there is 3 feet of snow in the back yard

Thank you. That's interesting on shift pattern My uncle had a 4 with 2 speed rear. And I worked for a guy that had same truck as yours. Same 5 speed. Is it bad to just split every gear. That's how I shifted. It just was used to haul a backhoe always. Never ran her Light. Never knew the pattern you said. Very interesting shift pattern. I just went off what was written on visor

@travis9438 2 жыл бұрын

think I said the pattern wrong at some point but with the two speed rear the pattern is different depending on the gear ratio you have. I have found with mine it is unnecessary to split the low gears with the rear as the gear ratio is so low.

@rp1645 2 жыл бұрын

@@travis9438 Can you do another video of just shifting again. I find it interesting how you shift a two speed rear, kind of like a spit shifter for say a class 8 Truck with the lever on front of nob. My 8- 71 with a Spicer 5 speed. Doest have a splitter on it. So it's been a time sense I used one of those two speed rears.
