The transmission has a TC-561 torque converter, a dash-mounted push-button shifter, Primary Shift Schedule 2 and the HS/RDS Package 223. Auto neutral engages with the parking brake, and the transmission also shifts to neutral at stops. A Jacobs compression brake is fitted, with controls on the right-hand column.

The rear axle ratio is 4.10, and typical operating speed is set at 70 MPH. The truck also has a remote PTO/throttle provision (12-pin, in the engine bay) and EMUX electronics architecture. Chassis & Axles The frame uses 10-3/4" steel rails at 3/8" thickness with a full steel inner liner. The rails are zinc-coated and anti-corrosion treated, with aluminum crossmembers and heavy-duty iron front spring brackets. The end of frame is square with no crossmember, so the body builder can install one, and two Holland TH-10050 tow hooks are mounted there.
