Firetruck transforms into a Pickup Detroit 2 stroke

My 1977 Loadstar 5 ton built into a 1 ton pickup truck. Air start 2 stroke Detroit 4-53T. 2002 GMC 1 ton frame from a box truck. Retired 1977 International Loadstar Firetruck. Original motor was a 446 international gas.

What is the transmission

[@doylemaintenance]

1972 4 speed out of a c50 Chevy. A 5 speed would have been a better choice but I couldn't find one at the time.

@doylepropertymaintenance trying to figure out what transmission do you use I also have a 453 I know it's kind of SAE 4 bellhousing least I believe so did you have to use an adapter plate for the transmission

[@doylemaintenance]

@@coreyellisart6877 Yes I used adapter its sae 2 got it used off ebay

Wait - I thought you sold that fire truck? Is this an older video you just released?

[@doylemaintenance]

[@doylemaintenance]

First clue would have been the shop and house I no longer own lol

@@doylemaintenance gotcha. I thought maybe that was the mechanics property. Interesting to see. The other two pickups looked cool too!

[@doylemaintenance]

​​@@kenbell8752I'm the "mechanic" behind the whole build lol if you call it that, only thing I didn't do is rebuild the Detroit. I got a crash course in air starter rebuilding from a oil field mechanic in Alberta who lent advise and parts cause no one around here works on those video doesn't have the 24 inches cut out from frame length because I was scared it fall apart haha.
