Yeah this is on the limits to select the outer gears.
Could have left the actual stick a little fatter which would have helped.

Interested in that 6BD?? Cummins install.
Know a bloke fitting one into a Patrol at present, think his stock gearbox/diff are up for some damage.

Think the Cummins into Patrol has been done before. Must be a tight fit.
Think he will be safer with the 6 than the 4, power pulse in the 4 tend to wreck things.
There is a good site with all this sort of info, not sure of the etiquette of posting that on this forum.

Can I ask why you went with the RR Blackduck? Surely there would have been a better, syncro option for a small truck like an F350? I have an F350 myself but apart from the previous owner having fitted an RR knob before I bought it I wouldn't have thought of the RRas an option.

600D, got 2 for a very good price and wanted the gearing. Had already scored a Spicer joey and looked at using the Ford 4 speed.
Cummins came with an Allison AT 545 but no lock up clutch so not to keen on that.
Setting this up as a tow unit for a 5th wheeler. May look at a later Allison down the track a bit.
Found the U tube with the high gearstick

Heaps of others on there, including a 68 Power Wagon with Cummins, RR10 plus joey
Cheers Steve

Fair call. That bloke in the video looks like a proper dick, maybe a wanna be trucker with a little ute.

For starters, it's chopped, so they've lost me. I'm guessing you turn the gear knob and it goes down to some generic auto. That would hook up to a Torqueflite nicely.
