    My old pops used to run a old Mack with twin sticks. It was a blast watching him steer, shift and still smoke a Lucky Strike cigarette.
  • @lex1945
    My late dad taught me how to handle the twin stick spicer when i was 15 years old. This is like a trip down memory lane to me.
  • I started driving truck in 1960 and retired in 2006. I drove several twin sticks. My 1st was an Autocar with a 4&4, then 5&4 6&4 5&3 and so on. Finally went to 18 speed, 13 speed and finally a 9 speed. I always liked the twin sticks and missed driving with them. This video sure brought me back. Thank you so much for giving me a few minutes of the past. Good luck and keep the shiny side up.
  • @davidrathert9428
    My first log truck was a five and a four twin stick !!!!!!!😂 I loved it
  • @stuartmeyer2689
    FINALLY....someone that can explain two stick shifting and make it understandable...thank you so much....not near as mystical as it’s always made out to be!!!
  • @kerrygordon6014
    Dad was a master at this, would ride with him in the 70's hauling offroad for drilling rigs.. two handed shifts climbing hills in the bush was really something to see
  • @davidflack8860
    I learned on 13 and 15 speeds. Been driving now for 43 years. I always wanted to learn to drive a twin stick. Thanks for sharing!
  • Even as a 14 y/o I understood this perfectly! You’re a great teacher and thank you very much.
  • My grandpa drove and owned a 359 Pete two stroke 6/4 trans he haul steel from East to West I new how to tarp and chain a load when I was 13 years old was driving the truck at 16 or so trucking and the people were alot different back then great times I'll never forget sure miss ya PAPAW thank you for always having a ear and allowing me to grow up with the greatest man a kid could have in his life I pray that you and Mom are together and are proud of my accomplishments I wish that my Son could have met you
  • It is not designed for trail running, but for moving mountains. Nice that the old fighters get the respect they deserve. The same to the people who take care of them.
  • @billarroo1
    I drove a 1966 Pete 359, with a 335 Cummins, 5&4, tow truck, I learned by myself, I ground the gears a lot, but I finally got the knack, it was Easy after the learning curve, 😆😆😆Great Video, Thanks William Orange county, Ca.
  • @whf3826
    My Uncle ran a twin stick in the late 70's early 80's in his log truck. I remember sitting in his sleeper watching him shift. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
  • @kenh9508
    Best explanation ever. I was unaware that it was 2 different transmissions and the overlap in ratios explains why it doesn't immediately make sense just by watching someone shift. Thanks for sharing
  • So I have to say thank you very very much. I drove for 16 years. And like you said everyone wants you to think it’s really difficult. But the way you explained it makes so much sense. Now I just have to get my license back and find a twin stick to be able to say I drove one. Nowadays all trucks are crappy automatics. But thanks again.
  • This is by far the best video explaining how to shift a 6 and a 4. 😎👍👍👍😎
  • @pojo9925
    Wish trucks like this were still around.
  • @giltk8258
    I own a 79 Long Nose Pete with 3408 cat and 6&4 with 285 wheelbase . It did about 96 mph. Only had her there a couple times. Very nice riding rig. Did a lot of oilfield work with her.
  • @davidgeorge1294
    50 years driving truck I've never heard of a ,2 stroke super cat. 2 stroke Detroit's drop revs quickly not snappy. I've driven 6x4 my whole life since I could push in the clutch I typically shift 6 gears out of 24. You didn't explain overdrive other than that, great job. Don't forget backing up in a truck stop shifting 4 times. That will turn heads. I currently run a 20x4 and a V12 Detroit 2 stroke. Now that's fun. 80 forward gears 4 reverse. Again I shift typically 6 times.

    I'm from Germany so my English is not the best and you made it understandable for me that's awesome
