It’s actually fairly simple to drive.
See the left gearshift as a bicycle tray, then the right one as the speeds.
1 tray, go through all 3 speeds, then get onto the second tray and shift through all 3 speeds, then 3rd tray and all three speeds... Downshift accordingly.

Certainly one of the more straight forward split transmissions I have seen so far.

Still better emissions (and sound) than a Volkswagen.

So like 1-2-3 low, and then 1-2-3 high?

Am I missing something or is he not clutching at all once he’s rolling?
Either up or down. I’m not seein that left leg move at all.

Most of those old trucks don’t have syncronized transmissions, so it doesn’t really matter if one uses the clutch or not.

Are you aware that your son will be the reason for your untimely and most definetly painful death?

If my father had killed my mother and then left me and my sister alone for 20 years without ever calling or writing a christmas card because of some stupid promotion I’d have many reasons not to buy him a Detroit Diesel powered respirator for his birthday.

The best part of old Detroits is how incredibly pissed they sound at totally unimpressive RPMs. That video never saw the engine over 2,500! So much 2-stroke!
Here’s my favorite Detroit vid (with the same 453 as your post):

There’s just too much going on here.

I always thought lack of synchros and no clutch led to dramatic dental loss in the tranny plu sloads of grindy noises.

Don’t question trucker logic.
