h67st Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 This is actually a pretty solid looking truck...I don't think I've ever seen a Roadranger behind a gas engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This is actually a pretty solid looking truck...I don't think I've ever seen a Roadranger behind a gas engine.Neighbor of mine in Jersey had a 75 Chevy straight truck with a 427 CI. gas engine,backed by a 13 speed road-Ranger,dont recall ever seeing another...............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

RFCDrum Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The RT6613 that I have in my International I have heard they put in Chevys and GMC that were tandems with gas motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 the 8 speed Road Ranger was real popular in gassers years ago,also.I just sold a IH Fleetstar with a RT610 behind a V8 gas,and like a couple said,that little 13 speed was in alot of Chevy's and IH gassers,I've drove a couple and as I remember,you shifted them more like a 15 speed.

RFCDrum Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yep that's how the pattern is more like a 15. I have never had any problems with that trans been running it since 87 from new. You never run out of any gears. Had a RT110 specced in her but changed our minds at the last second. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 thats a pretty clean truck for a 1970, still looks to have all the interior and not all torn up, would be nice if it was a diesel Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Maddog13407 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 yup 8 speeds were popular with gas jobs. my grandfathers 58 WC22T had the bigger gas engine with a 10 speed step o matic originally that was junk and the White Garage replace it with an 8 speed RR when the truck was about a year old. still have the truck . was sold and bought and sold and bought and traded for one of our original B42T's that was in a junkyard then bought back again and sold, then we found it again in the paper for sale 25 years later, knew it was the same truck cause it had the 8 speed listed in the paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
