    Nothing beats the sound of a Detroit diesel... them engines are the definition of coolness in my humble opinion

    Boy, is that a familiar sound from the 1950s and 1960s! The GMCs ,Mack's and Internationals all had their own sound. I knew what kind of truck was coming from miles away. Thanks for the memories!

    That is such a beautiful Tractor with such a beautiful sound! Lots of respect for the driver who took care of it. The trucking industry has a habit it of bringing new trucks and destroy history and the old trucks. To me as Truck Driver at heart that is sad. They literally could just keep the old trucks and sign up for Annual Truckers Club of America. For you to keep that truck up and going not only shows the Love for Trucks but the determination to keep our Trucks history from falling.

    A beautifully re- stored piece of trucking history! Remember the engines were G.M. diesels at that time. The Detroit Diesel name was coined by I-H later on from where they were made Detroit, Mich. Remember G.M. sold many of these engines to compet- itor companies like Ford, Dodge and the big International- Harvester Co. At that time it didn't look good having a competitor's engine in a FORD for an example.This great restoration reminds me of the Canadian produced old T.V. show. CANNON- BALL with actors Paul Birch as ' Mike Malone' and William Campbell as ' Jerry Reed'. This show was around when I was 9 yrs. old. I was able to later ex- perience driving two I-H's with V-8 Detroit Diesels, and a short nosed Diamond- Reo with a real screamer 6V-53! My best friend taught me how to drive and was also an experienced diesel mechanic. My short time behind the wheel of a big rig came to an end when I got sick. The new trucks all look like they came out of a cookie cutter with no more of styling there once was.The KW's and PETES still look good, though.

      A 10 speed ?
      R 2 4
      | - | - |
      1 3. 5
      Split into high range at fifth
      And then 6th through 10th are in the exact same standard h pattern
      6 is on top of first
      7 on top of 2
      8 on 3
      9 on 4
      10 on 5. You just shift a 5 speed twice basically
