Very cool video. I enjoyed hearing that truck operate. Thanks for taking us on the ride. I am in talks now with a guy selling a '47 KB1. Lighter version than yours, but this one has the 4 speed which was an option back then I'm told. Same inline 6 engine, largely stock like yours (which is what interests me). Safe driving! I hope to "join" you some day here soon.
Many years ago I had a 1947 KB-1. It had a non-synchro three on the tree. I learned to double clutch in that truck. I got pretty good at it. It was a retired Idaho Bell telephone truck. It had the same engine in it that your truck has. Watching you drive it brings back good memories.
I used to have a red long bed version (Knox all steel bed) with a three speed plus granny gear (compound low) on the floor. I also got pretty good at double clutching which made it lots of fun to drive, especially down-shifting to let engine compression slow you down and save wear on the brakes.
Que saudades dessa pick-up, meu pai falecido tinha uma 1946 6 cilindros,gasolina que trabalhava vendendo doces no país Brasil,inclusive aprendi a dirigir nessa pick-up.

Beautiful Truck.
Thanks for the ride. I have an all original ‘38 D2 that I enjoy driving whenever I get home.

It's a great looking truck.
They still used these 3speed top loader trannies way into the 60s in the Scout and column shift Light Trucks!
My 1948 KB2 panel came with a 4 speed.

Use the double clutch technique when downshifting to first
I'm about to pick up a 48-49. All patina, mostly driving.
A refreshing ride in the forest at almost 40 miles per hour. Next time out I'll buy the gas and the wife will bring a picnic basket.
bagus bgt sobat...ok...high great...
Do you plan on making any more video about this truck?
I will have to leave that up to the new owner. I sold it this fall.
