Everyday while driving I get to pretend it's still 1976 and I don't have to deal with my ELD and emissions regulations. Just drive like the good old days.

I grew up with boxes. Just trying to recreate my Childhood with equipment that's not obsolete.

@@jaredcampbell4124 I get that, I’m pretty sure that for all of us those were the best times

How is it stupid bozo?

Because it is minimally invasive you can mount it in your truck and if you get a new truck pull it out and mount it in your new truck.

Thank You

anytime.. u have good taste 👌🏼

All of my customers would disagree.

yeah i would know

It is made by Steering Creations. The original wheels from the 60s & 70s were 22 inch diameter. Most new trucks are 18 inch diameter. Steering Creations calls this one "Retro Bone" it is 20 inch diameter. They make them a bunch of different colors now.

All of them that I've driven 4 was Overdrive. I've heard that 4th was direct in some. I always use 2-3-4 in the gear progression, only using 1 (Deap Under) to start out on a steep hill and/or very heavy load.

4 to 2 is ok too as you still touch both shafts during torque transfer, sorry not clear the (wear) mistake is using 3&4 using only one side of the box, on my 6x4 I can switch high position and maintain same speed in order to cool hot boxes with rotation, Love your stuff GREAT idea the 2 stick on modern transmissions, old school respect,, keepin the dream alive!! Great job!!

It is a really cool old Truck

Yes it is

Check out my latest video. 5 and a 4 behind a 1693 cat ruclips.net/video/K9Y1NqhRPYI/видео.html&feature=share8

The installation instruction video is on my RUclips channel. It's 28 minutes long. One customer told me it took 20 minutes to install.

Haven't ever been to NY. But drove it out of LA in the late afternoon last week.

That's why you want 9× 4 all the low gears & high gears +simple shift , straight shift the 9 or drop the auxiliary for a 300 rpm split. What more can you want 39 gears.

The twinstick kit replaces the air switches that were on the factory shift knob. It is still an 18 speed. It would take a lot more time and money to change out the 18 speed with a 5 and a 4.

That usually works, but I lost a mud flap somewhere in Arizona in the middle of the night once with that method.

@@jaredcampbell4124 I work in the woods in N. Idaho, (logging, lowboy, chip truck etc) and have yet to lose one. I'm trying to talk my boss into a shifter for my 18spd on a 379 Pete. I have been doing 'favors' lately like, hauling logs, lowboying etc, away from my usual chip truck gig. I'm turning 59 on Monday and it's really starting to hurt my abused body. Every time I gotta go lowboy or haul logs I send him one of your videos, hopefully he'll clue in that I miss my twin sticks and let me 'go out' the way I came in, with 2 sticks! Hope to be ordering from you soon! 😁

Still haven't driven an automatic. I'm always itching for a set of boxes, but this twinstick kit is a close second.

Thank You

I haven't had the opportunity to test the other in person. I've just watched video demonstrations. The three key advantages of the Classic Touches twinstick kit are: Authentic feel, it doesn't just look cool with the doors open at the truck show, it feels almost like driving a 5x4. The kit is complete, it includes everything you need, no additional purchase necessary, all mounting hardware, two shift knobs, the boot, all included. Adjustability and customizable, mount it where you want on the floor, position the top of the shifter right were you want it to be, use the included bent extension or recreate what ever Brownie shifter look makes you happiest. Thanks for your intrest. Call or text if you have any questions 801-477-6376.

It is also the easiest to install and least invasive.

I dried off the steering wheel after.

That's what my mom told me as well

Yeah. I Wana be Driving a truck with two transmissions. Sadly those are becoming hard to find. This helps me relive the good old days at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks

It is different than the 5 and a 4 that I grew up on as well. It is an 18 speed. The twinstick kit moves the 18 speed air switches that are built into the shift knob from the factory to the second stick. Now instead of pushing the little grey switch on n the knob forward and back to split each gear. I move the twinstick kit stick forward and back to split each gear. And instead of pulling up or pushing down on the black switch on the front of the shift knob to change between high and low range, I move the twinstick kit shift lever from the left side to the right side. Left is low range, right is high range. The kit is easy to install, easy and intuitive to get used to, and I get to pretend I'm driving a 5 and a 4 that I loved as a kid.

@@jaredcampbell4124 okay you explained it to me and I understand but I would rather have the old-school gearboxes word might be a fight to find the gear sometimes simplicity is always better but going back to where I learned in my childhood is way more nostalgic and I'm not a truck driver I have drove truck I've I know a little bit about flat bedding I can always tell if a load is secure and the dry van I won't say I know everything because I don't but when it comes to shifting your transmission I can figure it out cuz I was doing it 8 and 9 years old what most twenty-year-old or 30 year old and can't do today they might have their CDL but I bet donuts dollars I can out drive

I would love to have a real set of boxes. But they are becoming outmoded.

I grew up driving boxes. There becoming outmoded. Just trying to relive my Childhood. And it's working!

@@jaredcampbell4124 That's as good as gold to me. Carry on sir, that's what life is all about.

BECAUSE HE CAN..

3406b. It was originally a 3408 truck but the guy Ray sold it to blew up the V8. When we got it back it had the 3406

@@jaredcampbell4124 Right on, my boss's signature trucks are W900 L's. He still has a BUNCH, some have 3406 B's, some have 3406 E's , he's replaced all the K's and 08's as they've been burned up. Still has a few K's and O8's in some 5th wheel trucks and very few in the log trucks ( maybe 2) loggers. Sure a shame to see them go away after such a long and lustrous career. Greetings from N. Idaho.

AWESOME A-MODEL LARGECAR!!!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊💎💙🤍🏆

It makes my new truck feel like the old trucks I learned to drive it. Brings back many fond memories.

In a 5 and 4 you are correct 20 forward gears. The brownie has deep under, under, direct, and over. This my friend is an 18 speed. The twinstick kit that I manufacture and sell makes it look and feel like a 5 and a 4.

@@jaredcampbell4124 well now that's very cool. I know that 18 speeds are a heavy transmission but not nearly as heavy as twin boxes so that's a very cool idea. I figured with the way you were shifting the brownie that you had a progressive under and not a deep under. I see so many videos of people shifting 5 and 4 wrong or getting info wrong. So it's nice to see someone who knows there stuff.

@@davidhass6743nobody is forcing you to install this in your truck. Stop hating brother. It's no different than putting 359 headlights on a 379 or 389. This is simply for the cool factor.

I'm not that old. The oldest truck I've driven was 1963, with the 3 push in valves on the dash. I was hanging out with my dad when I saw your comment, he said that he remembers the lever style parking brake in the gas engine trucks and that you never trust the parking brake.
