My grandpa was a truck driver for most of his life and early on he drove a twin stick. You should see when they reach through the steering wheel with there left hand to shift with both hands while driving. He had lots of stories about driving them. It's crazy for sure. I confuse myself most of the time with a two speed rearend on our international.

Quadraduplex, is what was in my first big truck, it was quiet a learning experience for a beginner.

ive never seen one of the "twin stick" trucks in person but my dad told me stories of a mack he used to drive hauling lumber that he had to reach through the wheel and shift with both hands, i think an "restored/updated" old "big rig" would make a cool toy hauler

My friend has a 79 extended hood Pete .It has a 5-4 Trans he calls it. We went down hwy and I told him to let out of it at 126 mph. I had my gps. Nothing works on dash.scarry.he hauls cows. This truck would confuse me the way it shifts. It's all origanal,

I ran a Freightliner for a heavy haul company out of New Jersey back in the early 90's. I was cleaning it out to move into it and found a speeding ticket from Arizona. It was for 128 MPH in a 55 MPH speed zone. The funny part was the fine was only $150 and yes the truck would run 120+ MPH.
