I still think he needs a whoopin'.....

 

Earlier post of the twin engine Ford trucks intrigued me so I poked around a bit. Trailer tramps are sitting on kegs of nails! That's some weigh right there.




These Twin Fords were a driver's nightmare to drive! It had 2 throttles 2 clutches 2 main box levers 2 two speed levers, You could rock your foot on the throttles and pull one engine as you shifted the other, He bought them as dump trks. and took them off and put on 5th wheel. Dan Rankin, pictured above, he still has a rig of his own, out of Post Falls, Idaho, He was the one guy that could drive that Twin real good!!

 

Was there a combined differential or separate one for each individual powertrain? That is some determination to get more power right there buddy.
