Years ago my first semi was a 65 GMC pancake cab with a  238 Detroit and 
12 spd spicer.  When the input gear went out, I found a 10spd RR and 
installed it.  We never got the shifter right to get into all the gears 
for that COE.  I later bought a straight shaft shifter and was going to 
use a piece of rubber flap to seal the floorboard.  Dad bought an IHC 
with a 3208 Cat and 10 spd spicer, and we switched over to that, after I 
overhauled the spicer trans, it hopped out of high gear.
   Later they outlawed tractors with no brakes on the front axle, and we 
just parked the GMC.
  The IHC was parked a few years ago and I found the 2 L9000 Fords at a 
State Auction.  Then went to another auction and found the 
Freightliner.  The freightliner needs some TLC on the front hood, but it 
really is a nice old classic road truck.
I have that rollback on a 95 IHC with a DT466 and no transmission...   I 
have thought of putting the 10spd RR behind the DT466.  Time and Money 
are tight, so what gets done is done....
