I am quite familiar with a Duplex, Triplex, and several variants of the 5X4. I know years ago, some trucks did run three sticks, although I believe the third stick was usually for a 2-speed axle/axles. I can't figure this one out, and I almost suspect it may be a fake, although the sound does match up pretty well. I also suspect that, in this day and age, DOT would never allow that truck to be licensed due to having to take both hands off the wheel so frequently to shift.
I'm not ready to call BS, but I certainly am puzzled. Any thoughts?
