Detroit Diesel 4-53T

Hand clutch fun

[SmokeyRider]

I like the air conditioner in the floor.

That clutch is funky as hell. I dig it tho. It's unique for sure haha

A set up like that would piss on the parade of any thief. Nobody would want to steal it.

Nice invention to put the ashtray on the floor of the truck! // ¡Buen invento poner el cenicero en el suelo del camión!

The dash is just a flet piece of metal with some gauges. Love it

[roconnor]

I'm glad to know the engine is in better shape than the floor!

the throttle response on those 2 strokes is so fast!

[nebraskamalt]

I like that keyless ignition. 3 sticks is protection enough

[canonet]

That's badazz! Love the sound of 2 stroke detroit diesels!

[J.R.in_WV]

Why the hand clutch? Hadn’t gotten a linkage made up yet for a pedal?

[-BEASTOR-]

You got a hole in your floor😋 Nice shifting though 😄

[adriancressy]

a little complicated....OK I see the trick. The chrome bar is the Clutch and doing some old fashioned double-clutching

[kevingrant]

That looks like a lot of work, but man it sure sounds good .

[CarburetedCowboy]

Would love a cold start or two with this view

[location_florida]

Why use the clutch after your moving with that set up

[mauricecole]

Hole in the floor that's Cleveland vehicle, everybody in Cleveland knows somebody with a hole in the floorboard.

[tripwright]

I don't know if you have a name for that truck or if it even is a truck but you should call it the moving stick.

[NaimeGordon]

Is that long lever the clutch? Someone tell me something please 🥺

[allanherrera]

Can you attach a simple 5 or 4 gear transmission?? To that engine?
