Camco Paving, Inc. 1969 GMC JI-9500 dump truck_6

Engine: Detroit 6-71N 238 HP six cylinder diesel

Transmissions: 5 speed main & 4 speed auxiliary

 

For those out there who have never driven a truck with 5+4 transmissions, here you go in case you want to attempt to drive this one home.

 

The 5 speed main in this truck is different than the ones I drove which had reverse all the way to the left and up, with 1st gear all the way left and down. Then again, the mains in those old Gradall's we had were a totally different pattern altogether. The auxiliary pattern here is exactly how I remember it though.
