73M819 do you know the model numbers on those spicer transmissions? I would like to get more info on these trannies! Thanks

I know the feeling of the pointlessness of a 5 speed in an OTR truck. The frustration of pulling hills with effectively four forward gears was a a primary driver to scrap the first 3208 build I did and embark on a new build with a multi-range transmission, which is a much easier transmission to drive.

Got the numbers and info somewhere, first worked on this when i had my gasser m52 in Cal. I have of folders of folders of stuff saved, as new MV thoughts came up, more folders were made

I have the manual for the 6000 series trannies. I am happy to look up ratios, numbers, whatever you want. Just let me know!

I'm also interested in the guy with tires... did he say what type of 11.00x20s? NDCCs, Michelin XLs, Goodyear G177s, etc?

73M819, I don't see how a 7, 9, or a 10 speed Spicer can be the same lenght as a five speed? The way they get the extra gears is to add another section on the tail of a five speed or make the tranny wider. I think I will have to move my transfer case back at least 10". I have a winch so I need to make sure the winch PTO will still work. Looks like spicer 7 speeds are easy to come by. But I am steering towards a Eaton road ranger right not. I want a strong tranny that will shift nice too!

The OLD spicers that i was looking into was 8 or 10 speeds, had a single counter shaft, basicly a 4 or 5 speed with a two speed on the back of the main box, this was a fairly short trans., would have called for a shorter driveshaft between the trans and the xcase. these were the only trans that I could find that would fit with out moving the xcase and still clear the front driveshaft and also allow for a side pto for the front winch. Other trans can be found but eather don't clear the front drive shaft or don't have a side pto, or both,

If you can get the model numbers that would be a big help! Thanks

Any luck on model numbers?

I think I am going with a eaton 9 speed. I think a 13 speed is a little to much gearsit is a little wide but I need to push the tranfer case back so I will have more room to clear the transmission. If I have to I will use a two piece driveshaft and a carrier bearing. Is there any other reasons that this trasmission would not work? They have PTO's hatches on both sides, so I can run my winch. I know that I will need to lenght some things and shorten others but, I think it will be worth it!

Hey Vintage Iron...if you catch me in the right mood I may consider selling my 475hp Silver 92 and RTO 12513 (13speed) tranny.
