No both companies in question as I know did not merge, in fact a Spicer Brownie combination, is a normal Spicer five speed gearbox connected to a four speed Brownie auxiliary gearbox via a short prop shaft. In the late 1930,s AEC at Southall Middlesex UK used a similar arrangement on their Mammoth Major ,a 4x2 two stick double gearbox, four speed main ,two speed auxiliary. Leyland at Preston Lancashire went one better with a 5x2 double gearbox ,five speed main two speed auxiliary on the Beaver, Hippo and Octopus. Fodens of Elsworth Cheshire designed a 4x3 box, four speed on the stick, with an air operated three speed auxiliary worked by a stubby lever under the steering wheel, like an air operated hand parking brake.
Your lovely ,65 Freightshaker is too quiet, the 250 iron Lung Clessie Cummins is a sweet little engine needs to be kept spinning hence the two stick Spicer Brownie double gearbox, five in the main ,four in the Brownie. A straight stove pipe no silencer(muffler) is best, I want to hear the 250 Cummins bark waking the dead.
@@BrianPiperata-ov2yu I said you didn't give credit to the driver driving the truck.... There is no obvious statement that you were applauding the driver in the video
@@BrianPiperata-ov2yu don't feel threatened. That was not my intent. I also agree that this is what real trucking was all about.....grit, skills and discipline.
You ain't lying brother, before I got the 65 Narrow nose Pete I drove a 65 cab over Freightliner manure spreader until The Pete got ready. I was spreading chicken manure in a wheat field (harvested) when I hit an unseen irrigation rut, the wheel whipped to the right taking my wrist into the dash, breaking my wrist! Hurt like hell, best part was the disability paid better than the $3.40 an hour I was getting. July 1982!
The old school no ac no power steering now is easy to drive trucks i used to get drunk in a way to sl😂in summer season it was hard to sleep in winter season
@@russvoight1167Just a prehistoric way of keeping track of the driver. Keeping him from over revving it and speeding. All that can cost the company money/profits.
This is nice to see, it's just like watching my Dad when he drove these.
dam he was that bad?

Tachograph AND a Speedograph… haha..poor bugger! Nice shifting though!
It has one of those Jimmy Hoffa boxes on the Dash still.
First time I've seen,a twin stick ,started driving right before the CDL,CDL sucked to!!!!
Nice to see someone twinstick shifting with one hand, it’s not that hard.
Thats how I was taught. Also hard to 2 hand in a cabover
Twin Stick Shifting is always harder in a Cabover ...( much longer shift linkage ).. What does this truck have for power ?
It has a 250 cummins.
@@jaminstewart2444 Cool Truck.. Thanks
Some used a push-pull cable system for the auxiliary transmission
@@jaminstewart2444 Does it have power steering? His maneuvering looked easy
@GreggWalken-xd3qv
Yes it has power steering.

What's a Spicer Brownie? Did Spicer and Browne-Lipe merge at some point in time?
See this is real truck driving
Didn't give credit to the driver
BULLSHIT I BERN DRIVING SINCE 1988

I was always said to its the driver not the truck, I was not feeling threaten, I trucked with real truckers not one's with flip floops
Try one handing a 4x4 behind a 318 and you will be sitting in the middle of the road and starting over.
That's a steering wheel holders nightmare

There was nothing luxurious about those old trucks, look like somebody made them in their backyard, in 3 days.

Those are Tachographs, one for speedometer and one for tachometer.
Drivers called them clocks. They were a recording device, but not an eld
