The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Two speed axle linkage on 1953 COE

This is on a '53 COE. The two speed axle shift rod mounts under the dash and then goes though fire wall.
There is linkage attached to the rod that goes up to the speedometer reducer gear. It’s the same unit
that came off the truck, not sure why the positioning is different. Can I turn the reducer unit on the
speedometer so that the axle indicator (low/high) is in the correct position?
