corky waugh Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 My name is "Corky" Waugh and I live near Lexington, NC. I am a retired driver/safety manager currently working at a truck driver training school. The first truck I drove was a 1955 Mack H-63 single axle with a ten-speed duplex. I was 14 when my dad showed me how to drive it. The first thing he said to me was ..."when we drive this truck, we do not scrape gears or drive without using the clutch..." He showed me what is considered the correct way to shift the duplex and "tripple-clutching" when making compound shifts. I have driven Hs, Bs, Fs, and Rs, but my favorite is still the H.I am looking for a project H or B to restore.I am looking forward to getting good advice and making new friends while undertaking this project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Welcome Corky! Don't hate me for this, but my use of the clutch for shifting is sporadic at best, but I don't force Ms Fuller to do anything she doesn't want to do. Who did you work for over the years?BTW here's my sexy woman photo, complete with a big welcome kiss:: 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
