You can see the two transmissions under the truck, but the cab shows two standard sticks, not a Road Ranger stick with the air switch range selector. Maybe he's got two five speeds.

Give me super singles and that rear set up is just what I want.
Prefer a two speed rear axle over the dual transmissions.
Needs paint.
Otherwise awsome work. I would take it as is :B

Can I order it in 4wd 😉


Well, if you have a Hi and Lo range X-fer case, does that mean you now have 100 gears?

The logical side of me says no one, even OTR tractors, need 50 forward gears, I am sure a bunch of those ratios overlap. The man side of me says GRRRRR, 50 gears, dual hand shakers, awsome! This is one of those projects that was done "because I can" and is really neat to see someone do 🙂

I would like to know he fit a Cummins and two bulky transmissions under that body. Kinda like stuffing a Hemi in a Metropolitan. Also, the gearing on the main would have to be widely spaced to make a ten speed auxiliary work. Methinks the guy is pumping sunshine.


Did you look at the pictures......
