There I found a couple trucks and came home with two throttle rods each shorter then my original. I don't recall what the measured difference between the rod I use, and the one connected with the governor. The previous owner who had the governor did not have the bakelite insulator, or the thick gasket below it, which I now have.
I cut the carb stud down and that is how I removed my governor.
I feel like my truck runs better having it removed and the correct set up thick gasket, insulator, then carb installed.

Thanks for the input. Though there are no Grantsville's near me. So the odds of finding the right length throttle rod are not that good. Combine that with I do not want to change out the studs so I will leave things the way they are for now.
