These days it is almost illegal to own a truck much less drive one, they only tolerate us because they want their crap. Legal? Show me a
DOT brother that even remembers 2 stick trucks and I will show you a pig that flys.....

I don't think I'll ever understand this form over function thinking. These idiots with the shift knob over their heads, for example. What's next, suicide clutches?
alds Thanks this. -
Hell...Let's go back to Spring-ride.....Nose Sleepers in either the front of a trailer or, the old nose sleepers like the COE's had back in the 40's and 50's.....

And while we're at it.....Bring back the telegraph too....Vampire Thanks this. -
Now I'm not saying all you kind folks need to go setting your trucks up like this I was just wondering if any of you had this set up could give me a better idea of how it worked. The outfits who make the kits have little to no literature on it aside from a picture or two. I was thinking it may be a nice touch to add to my rig that's all. And yep I knew it was a air valve not a aux trans, but it's function will still give you a different shift pattern.

You don't miss the wore out towers and bushings? hunting for the next gear? The wig wag? The wis wis of air wipers? The roar when the air shutters opened? Tee teeing your britches when someone que'd an air starter next to you? Springs and torsion bar suspensions? 20" dayton split rims? Or even the hunting Detroit?
yessir, those were fun times.......Taildragon Thanks this. -
10-4 over and out

this looks like a comedy skit from either mad tv or saturdaynight live making fun of how truckers shift a big truck. I would hate to be this guy when you been running your ### off for 2 days straight fighting these #### shifters. if all he is wanting is a workout to get bigger arms, then he should just install that weight lifting machine that "lincoln hawk" had in over the top! c'mon!
alds Thanks this.
