If one of them replaces the air pistons with mechanical links to those extra sticks, then they'd have something interesting.Cetane+ Thanks this. -
Thing is looking cool ain't always easy, and lookin easy ain't always cool. I like the 2 stick truck, learned to drive in it took my CDL test in it wouldn't change it for anything. I do prefer my 13 speed definetly as far as ease of getting thru little towns with a red light on every corner. The 4 speed aux behind it is air shifted along with being gutted and dummy spacers so I'm only turning direct and overdrive. With the 13 in front of it that's all I need. I usually leave it in direct unless I know I really gotta boogie

1750 spicer with A ratio I'm almost sure. They make a B and C as well. I'm not in it or I could tell you 100 percent. I bought it new from spicer it was right at 7000.00 for box and shipping. The stick shift box is bout a grand cheaper. Most important thing is mounting it's got to be dead on true or it will give you problems. All my mounting hardware I got from Eldon's truck parts in Searcy Ar. If I can be of any help let me know be glad to if I can.

Yes Wore Out has got the setup for sure. Problem is, I don't know anyone who can do that.
BTW, this is the Bull Hauler guy I was talking about. It has been posted a bunch here as well.

It was struck ya space deal. I would prefer the 2 sticks actually but getting between the seats in this 6 + 4 truck is really hard on a less than tall more than skinny guy. Not that just the one stick provides much more get through room.
Mounting the aux isn't that bad of a deal just requires patience to get right. I pulled my RTOO 15613 and put the 20913B and the aux all in one hitch. Had to pull both tanks to do some frame drilling, but had
most everything gathered up. Also already had the dummy spacers in the aux trans so it was ready to install. Took 3 days for me with my boy assisting when I needed a hand.
