I used to drive one like that with a fifth wheel trailer delivering steel I beams. I see this one has a five speed with no DP on the rear end. (deep reduction is a little red button on the stick) The one I drove was a real pig on fuel and I had to drop two or three gears to climb a hill with it. It always had electrical issues and when I graduated to driving the Mack the replacement driver on the ford took out two rear ends before we scrapped it. In my opinion: strip off anything that you can use and scrap the rest.
As a little side note: I have taken my own poll of the drivers that come into our yard about twin stick shifting. None have any idea of what im talking about...........makes me feel real old
