Very good wrong handed shifting,& driving wrong sided to boot. Is the pedals backwards on rhd truck? What foot you use for the throttle? Enjoyed seeing y’all’s country too. 🤙

I had to cringe about a minute in looked like the motorcycle guy was going to get hit. Also the "round abouts" get your head spinning. Great video.

gudday m8

RE: Back when two stacks were closer to the center of the cab for a reason other than looks

Originally the KW 1/2 truck had a V6-71 and th@ put the winch hard up against the cross over exhaust to our passenger side of cab

when we shoe horned the V8 in it worked out easier to run the exhaust straight back and up each side of the winch

with 2 mufflers it did not quient the beast down so to Answer the Q: the exhausts are inline with the exhaust manifold outlet

RE:  Is the pedals backwards

the pedals are the same set up as wot u run

right foot go pedal ............ Left foot clutcherator with the stoppers between the 2

 

 

 

 

Looks like eye've pirated SteadyTeddys post .................sorry bout th@
