Popular Post ranchhopper Posted August 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) They finally rolled the truck out of the shop Monday afternoon it was a straight truck used to deliver concrete septic tanks not much for miles were ever put on it so it sat for 10 years in the back lot unused so they cut it down and made a tractor out of it. We have another truck they did this to a 94 RB which I drove a few years ago then I worked in the yard loading trucks for a season and the driver of my old truck wrecked it. They put it back together and offered it back to me I wouldn't drive it with screws holding the headlight buckets into the hood so they built this one for me the head mechanic knew I would take care of it and keep it clean so he went over and above to make it a nice truck.Im having trouble shifting it because theres no wear in the trans still pretty stiff not like my previous truck with 775.000 on it which almost shifted its self but its nice to have air conditioning again I'm way less tired after driving all day.

BillyT Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Terry, I like your B model has the L J cab so lottsa room what engine/ tranny combo? Unrelated question,Anyone ever drive a 12 speed Spicer? I haven't but my friend said it was the slickest,fastest shifting tranny he ever drove! He said it wasn't popular because a lot of drivers could never(or according to him refused to learn) how to drive it.Very simple, but entirely different from most other trannys!
