BarryGMC is on a distinguished road
Default auxiliary transmissions and where to look.

One of the coolest additions to any old ruck is small brownie box. Not only are they a conversation piece they really change the personality of an old rig. Now the 3 speed boxes give you 12 options with a 4 speed. But on the road you really only use them as a 8 speed. Now in this day and age of point and click parts searches a lot of people miss the stuff sitting all around them. Every brownie i have ever found has been within an hour of my house and not listed as for sale. A few i have found in wreaking yards. But most are in old farm trucks. I am always looking for and asking about old stuff. And a hundred goes a long way when buying stuff off of some long dead truck. Over the years i have found dozens of these gear boxes and the most i ever paid was 150.00 and he pulled it. So look in the industrial areas and farms and just ask around. Lots of cool stuff just sitting and rotting. Next post i will talk more about these 2 boxes and what to expect from them
