Brownies can be identified by the numbers stamped on the ID tag. 5xxx and 6xxx series are most useful for our size trucks. 7xxx and higher are so large, they need to on a semi tractor. The leading number, 5 or 6 in the above cases represents the Engine Torque ratings for the input engine. There are 3 and 4 speed ones. When searching for one, make sure and get the shifter mechanism from under the cab of the truck. None are synchronized, however they shift easily.
