Air governor

I'm just about at a dead end. I need a Bendex air gov. type O1 I think.
the kind mounted on the fire wall. This type, kind of dissapeared in the
early 1950's.

Which model 1949, an F800/900 with air brakes? There's no air governor listed in the truck parts catalog, so it has to be called something else.

Here's a pic of the system.

Thats odd? my parts book shows the whole thing. Any way, the part no.
is 'item #69' page 475 B/W 220912 (Bendex no. not Ford) 1949-1952

thanks Sam

I had to figure out where to look.

Left upper and right pics: Found the following in Text-Section 29. There's no pics shown in the Illustration Section.

Left lower pic shows a pic of the governor and associated parts. Since there are no Ford part numbers listed, just Bendix part numbers, there's nothing that I can do for you.

Talking AIR GOVENOR

A D2 later style governor can be retrofitted , some are mounted on the compressor but can be mounted remotely. These can be found at truck shops and can be bought at NAPA.
