Yes indeed, they did exist! What it was was an Eaton tandem set with 2, 2 speed axles and an inter-axle differential power divider. 'Low' was both axles in low range, 'High' was both axles in high range. In the intermediate range one axle was in 'low', the other 'high', and the difference in ratios was split by the differential. 67km1590 was right, it supposedly didn't like running in the intermediate range. Don't think you could lock out the power divider for obvious reasons! Whole point of the idea was to allow a use of a simple 5 speed transmission instead of a Road Ranger, ect., which this truck apparently has.
