dover Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The screamin jimmy comes to life at about 3 minutes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZoU4qPxR78I couldn't figure out why he kept grinding the gears, then it hit me, he's shifting with the wrong hand. I'd miss them all too. 1 Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33243-a-2-stroke-for-ben/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nice video. I don't grind gears that bad except when trying to find a lower gear at slow speeds.Questions about the RH drive B's - Are the instrument panel and glove box interchangeable? They look similar.Speaking of Ben...I have not seen Ben nor Tim on the site recently.

Green Dash Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I wonder how he would do with 2 sticks.Cool video but there's something that's just not right about a Detroit in a B model. To make matters worse, it's a 6-71 in a B-615! 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33243-a-2-stroke-for-ben/#findComment-213112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Love the Detroits but I'd rather see an 864 and a quad box in that old girl. It would probably shift better. I thought I sucked at finding gears! Actually I do in the modern stuff but I feel less alone now. The quad is much easier. I assume the gauges and the glove box are the same shape and size just for that reason. It makes one set of tooling for both right and left hand drive trucks. That's called engineering.

Freightrain Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wow...don't think I drove my triplex that rough the first year I had my truck. A 13 spd should shift like an automatic.Saw the V8 badge and wondered if they put an 871 in it...but guess not. At least that would have been "v8" proper.I bet the dash tooling is just reversed for the RH steer. The dash and glovebox is likely the same no matter.

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It sounds more like a 8V-71 than a 6-71 to me. trans looks like a old style double overdrive 13 speed by the gear pattern he used. Nice truck .A bit scratchy on the gear selection though. Joe D.
