Diagram needed for the two speed shift ???
Does anyone have a diagram of how all the lines go on this part. I am going to start piecing it back together soon. I need to know where all the lines run to. I know some run to the intake for vacuum, but want to do it right the first time. I hate to do things twice.
Thanks Kevin

ksmith, I was wondering if you have a two speed speedometer head? if not your speedo will not be exactly right, if you do there is a diaphram on the back of the speedo head that works off of vacuum. if it is broken you will have a vacuun leak there and your diaphram on the rear axle will not hold. The vacuum line runs from the back of the twospeed switch through the firewall to the speedo.

I will check the speedometer as soon as I get a chance. I should be able to leave the restaurant at 4:00, because I think we served all of Massillon at lunch. It is the original speedometer so I think it will be correct. The part 4039 attaches to the back ofthe speedometer? So much to learn, but I am having a great time redoing this truck. Spent lots of $$ the engine alone now has $2300 in it. Here is a break down of engine alone:
engine rebuild kit $1082.00
Distributor rebuild $ 92.00
point,coil, condensor 50.00
Fuel pump rebuild $ 76.00
Machine work $ 612.00
Starter & generator 283.00
Clutch kit 278.00
total 2423.50
Truck $225.00 cost to go get it $300.00
Experience of rebuilding it..........Priceless!

Me too! that must be why I end up doing things 3 or 4 times.....
Those bigger trucks can sure get complicated. I am learning alot from your posts and the answers to them. There's just so many things that you don't have to consider on a smaller truck.
Keep up the great work

I had an adapter come on a speedo I bought for my 52 project. From what I can tell, it was for a 2 speed rear axle, however it appears to be electric unit and not a vaccum controlled. When would they have changed over? I don't have a use for it, just kinda curious
