The ultimate anti theft device

Brought tears to my eyes, miss my daddy. When the passengers started to bounce a little how those old trucks used to ride, I had a distinct memory FLOOD my brain. It was vivid and I'm grateful for this.

Beautiful sound and shifting, nothing like experience.

Only a Truck Driver appreciates and understands the nuances of a two stick set up. Paying attention , thinking , planning , finesse and skill . The Love of actually shifting gears. No synchronizers to cover up your mistakes lack of focus and in-attention

legends say he is still accelerating

Good old 5 & 4, arm thru the steering wheel double stick shifting. Learned how to do this with a C 65 chevy loaded with 50,000 lbs of potatoes in the northern Maine hilly roads.

God bless the invention of the splitter valve.

I saw a post on instagram that said "if you want texting and driving to stop being back the clutch and stick shifting". Well to add a little more for precaution just add a second stick.

You know it's running good and smooth when you get goosebumps from it

Out of all the trucks I drove, my favorite was a 60's Mack B-61 with a Mack Thermodyne diesel and a 15 speed Tri-Plex (5x3). That truck was so much fun to drive.

I taught my 2 kids a boy and a girl how to drive 5&4 1967 Peterbilt in the late 80s She drove more than him. She's a school bus driver over 20 years now!

Great video. No fat head bravado. No knuckles dragging on the ceiling. No bullshit. Just a good old boy getting it done old school. I miss the old rattle trip 5&4's like my old logging truck days.

That old Cummins is beautiful music. I love Detroits too but this Cummins sounds incredible. Two different kinds of music.

Damn that cummins is music to my ears and sure enough I miss my dad too!!!!! No one could shift like the way he did it. But this video is great. Thanks for this!!!!!!!!!

Those were real trucks and the sound is amazing!!

The left stick is the main transmission and the right stick (in nb this case, Mack's are reversed) is the auxiliary transmission which "splits" or divides each gear in the main 2, 3, or 4 times. Real old school truck drivers, once started, put their left foot on the floor and drove the truck with their right foot and their hands. If you had to kick the clutch pedal in a B81 twice for every shift you would be a cripple for life.

If I can learn how to drive that truck and operate those two stick shift like that I can throw that on my resume right?

This is something I wish to experience some time in my lifetime.

they were reallll fun when you got tired, missed on a hill and tried like hell to catch up, lots of times almost coming to a stop! same set up in a Diamond Reo heavy spec!

It takes a lot of skill and a little practice to drive such a truck. Switch all the time. But I have to say it would be a challenge, I like it👍👍

I feel like if he flips those in just the right sequence he would unlock the secrets of the universe

this is ome of the best transmission combo there was! 5&4 and 6&4 were both awesome! loved them!

Lol had a buddy that had a 64 chevy truck 3 speed manual with" twin sticks", was a lot of fun watching people try to figure it out

Оказывается Камазовская коробка передач это рай.

Mad Respect to that shifting. So smooth

At least the driver of a rig like this can't Text while driving..lol

Nice shifting 👍

This is back when people had to learn things and stuff

Thats how it's done over the top, around the tree , down the hole, around the hourn to pawpaw House.... Great video 👍👍👍

Nicely done! Gets more intresting with the two extra main gears.. Cummins 335 as my own KW according to your other video! Great video would definitely like to see more!!

Nice...that's what I started out with in the early 60's and my first O/O truck was a 5 x 4...long 5th and a progressive A-box...get em both under the dash and let er roll.

Nice, I learned on a 65 KW with a 5 and 4! Haven't seen a tachograph for a while either.

Well done 👍 I would love to learn how to drive twin sticks.

That’s really Crazy, I would pay anything to drive one of those here in Bogota, Colombia...👍💪🇨🇴

Looks like a solo game of twister.....Slick shifting my man.

Miss them days of driving & shifting those main/auxli transmissions. A 40 hr. work-week with my local municipality driving a KW-900 2-stick w/low-boy trailer. On the weekends (16hrs. give or take) with my own 1970 Pete 2-stick truck tractor, pulling a water-tanker, hauling scrap metal, derelict vehicles, and milk-cattle manure. Nowadays, I'm semi-retired and still driving, a 2019 Pete auto-shift 5k fuel tanker., no shifting at all. Not gonna lie, I love driving trucks, but I do miss shifting them gears. LOL!

My grandfather used to drive those in the 50sand 60s according to my dad. My dad said he would shit his pants at the thought of ever having to try and drive a double stick truck.

My grampa told me a story about getting the sticks wedged together while pulling up a hill, he said he had pull over then take a shifter off take it out of gear then put it back together and start from the bottom gear and continue up the hill. The greatest generation.

Unreal to see a T590 turbo still in use, they were like another flywheel.

very good shifting and great sound

Younger gen driver here. My trainer was an old timer old school driver told me how he learned to drive on one of these with a Detroit. Dude had no experience, they handed him the keys and told him "you'll figure it out, see you on site"

The wheel is steady wish I was young again

Nice sounding old come-apart!

Im always amazed how a trucker can drive a 2 stick manual or 3 sticks. A skill, guess reserved for the few nowadays. Is this skill as rare as blacksmithing?

What a thing of beauty man and machine as one 👍

Awesome old truck sir !

When I was attempting to train my last trainee on how to shift a 10 speed. He quit yesterday. I showed him this video. To try and explain what smooth is. Turns out hes rain blind.

I like how you have normal shifters and u don't look like a ratfink cartoon with the wierd shifter extensions.

Lo lindo que suena ese camión, es música para mis oídos algo que emociona mi corazón.

Nice shift man i want si this beast in my country

Nice job, great to see that well done

Smooth as glass !

Very very confusing. My grandpa had a truck like that. Maybe it was from the early 80's though. He pulled a lowboy in Dallas, Tx. It was fun riding with him when I got to.

Beautiful Shifting

I drove a 67 KW narrow nose, 335 Cummins , 5 + 4 trans. Wish I owned it now.

I was lost after the 45th gear ⚙️ change!!😂

Almost enough to make one nostalgic

The Good Old days when YOU had to DRIVE the rig..

love to see someone do a road test in that

Shifting modern day 18 speed CAT 625 can be challenging enough as it is. Ive wanted to try a 6x4 spicer or something similar

Times like this, and I'm grateful that I was born with 3 arms.

I like ! You are the best driver truck forever 🚛

Wow...Beautiful 👍🏻🎶🎶❤

Well done thank you.

Love it!

43 years driving truck. Never saw the romance in a jillion gears. Learned how to drive in a Ford F850, 5x2. Best truck was a R model Mack with a straight 5 or 6 speed. Spent a lot of years at CF with straight 7s. Everybody hated them, but I loved super 10s. Unless you were loaded to the rafters, 4 lever moves and 1 button. If you need more than ten gears, you ain't got enough engine...

Couldn’t imagine taking the cdl test in that rig

This looks fun

I started hauling produce from California to Canada with a 57 Needlenose and 59 Utility reefer

I like the switches on the dash.

This truck need to go in the museum now

driving one-stick-manuals for more than 30 years. But I never figured out 2-stick-shifting

I think the right pronunciation for that kind of shifting is called. Set of sticks.not a lot of people know how to drive like that awesome driving..

Just plain SWEET

Been years since I've seen one of those Sangamo Speedograph/Tachograph clocks

Looks very steady on steering.

Imagine doing city drop off runs everyday in this . Makes todays Auto steering wheel attendants look pretty bloody useless . Cheers from an Aussie Truckie

Espectacular sonido...ya casi no se ven esos camiones...

Qué chulada de trasmisiones.cuando realmente había operadores de tractos quinta rueda.hasta dan ganas de llorar solo saber que ya no existen que ya están fuera de circulación.es una lastima.pero ni modo hay que ir a vanguardia solo que a la gente nueva ya se les olvidó la humildad.lo amable y la responsabilidad.pero que días aquellos.ojala y algún día volvieran a salir los dos bastones.en los quinta rueda.

I wish I was a trucker back when this was the standard truck.

Respect!

ah yes, shifting... one of the good things about trucking

legend !

Crazy and beautiful

Holy shift

Как в Форсаже)) передачи не кончаются

That’s just crazy!

Drove Macks, Autocar and a KW with 5x4 and 6x4....

I had a friend that can drive one he had his CDL before I did I went with him it is an art

Roll on big mama !

For anyone curious about these i have a vid i did using an app on my phone to show how these work. Nice video 🙂

Oye parcero jm no conocía esas cajas.eran más complicadas antes en qué país estás muchos éxitos Cali Colombia

Nice truck

Nice shoot by the way

I want to see you passing your driving test with this truck.

When did they do away with the strip down the middle of the hood? My 62 has it with the early style fiberglass hood. Then they went to the A model cab in about 64 and still had a kind of narrow radiator which was wider than the early fiberglass but still narrower than a regular A model. Then they had the regular A model with a wide hood. And I don’t know when they changed to the rib being built into the fiberglass, which does not look anywhere near as good.

That is a whole lot of transmission

SMOOTH 😛 AS BUTTER!..👍

is he floating the gears? i see no clutch movements.

What a raspy sounding engine nice
