Recovered and saved from the scrappers by the Sparta Possum Lodge and brought back up to a usable state. Junior has Two Four speed transmissions and a Two Speed Rear End which gives it a combination of 34 forward gears and 8 in reverse. The lowest combined ratio of these configurations if achieved by having both transmissions in reverse and the rear end in low range this gives the final drive a 372:1 ratio.
Here's pics of John driving it a couple years ago at the reunion. https://goo.gl/photos/j2ShHi4ZuTtoxpsR7 https://goo.gl/photos/6XvrwXXCA5zCN4c29
