I used to drive a 58 Mack dump truck, 5 spd main and 3spd aux and a GMC 9600 12 yard box, 5 spd main and 4spd aux. Lots of split shiftin' goin' on. No synchro and shifting sans clutch too. Up shifting, no problemo, but downshifting is pure art. Who's steerin' this rig?

A friend of my Moms had a Dodge Colt (from those wonderful folks who brought you the Japanese Zero) that had a 4 speed and another lever behind with P-E on it for power and economy. Basically a 2 speed overdrive like the Warn in my old CJ2A. They had me drive and I'm split shifting and they are going WTH? Might of had a 4wd version at some point.

Look up split shifting on YouTube. There was some good in cab videos of a Mack.
