It's a 9 speed, not a 10 Speed.

It seems to me, that your just asking for a bad day with those type's of trans... Give be a 13 or if need be a supper 10 and I will be a happy boy!

 

Nope....when the Brownies were in use, there were real truckers on the road and "Super Truckers" weren't even born yet.....

 

we have straight 7's straight 8's
split 9 and 10's and even a few 4x2's (rear splits)

I drove a 1976 Ford overcab (not cab over) up from owling Green...

wow


start with both sticks up and to the left... switsh on dash to the left...

go one two three four.... clutch and switch to right - grab second stick and go five six seven eight...


kinda freaky!

 

The blue one sure looks like an 8LL

 

the RTO, the one in the red, is what the first truck i drove up to speed had. took me a few times to get it right, running on shale in kansas just as it was trying to rain...

took my test with a straight 9, also dorve a few straight tens, drove a super ten once, i rather enjoyed it since the truck was empty it was up to speed very quickly...

I used to drive an old single axle GMC around the yard that had a 4 speed and a 2 speed brownie, i enjoyed it since i was the only 14 year old around that could drive it.

im trying to talk my dad out of his US gear dual range to go between the transfer case and 4 speed in my bronco, allowing it to split gears.

 

The one in red is in my 99 Western Star. Big difference in gearing from 7th to 8th.
