Recommended Posts

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!

answering your 12 spicer ? yes they were slick but you had to stay wide awake to drive one . they had only 3 shift lever positions + a high and low range shift valve + splitter botton much like a 13 spd. reverse was a seperate lock out either air or a mechanical lever they would run you backwards just as fast as you could go farward . spicer also built a16 spd which had 4 gear lever positions
