The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts My new , old GMC DF860 Cannonball

The old boom truck looks like a late 40's International, I've seen a few around NC.

As for the DF860 is the transmission original or a modern replacement? A lot of the late 50's to early 60's diesel trucks used the roadranger R96 transmission which was a long case 10 speed with cable range shift, 5 low side and 5 on the high. This was around before the twin countershaft RT910 came out. We used both roadrangers when we were changing over from gas burning Chevys to diesel White 9000's and 4000's in the mid 70's.
