Well, if they had a five speed main and four speed brownie that would give you 15 gears considering that 1st gear on the brownie (deep under) was generally only used the save the clutch when rocking the truck to turn around with no power steering. Of course there were two sticks as the gear boxes were entirely separate. The first Roadranger transmission I saw was in 1969 and it was a 13 speed, not a 15.
