Always wanted to learn them, still want to have an older truck with them as my daily driver. Still remember as a kid riding with the old man and watching the twin stick action.

Broke out on a quadroplex in the dirt. Old hand showed me how to wrap an arm thru the wheel and move 'em both at once. Whew! (Wonder if I still can.....)
Later on moved over to a 5x4 air shift...another beauty. I honestly miss 'em. You had to be a driver to handle one of these.

Loved the two stick, hated it when the steering wheel would bump.
Never was a one hand shifter.
