A while back there was some discussion about the mounting of the kick-down switch on a 235.
Today I got a chance to take some pictures of a customers 1955 2nd truck.
Unfortunately the switch mount is not stock but the rest looks like it is.
I hope this helps someone trying to set one up. Link to pictures


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

Interesting bracket design. I wonder if the switch is stock or if the switch and bracket came off another make.

Look familiar. Its from a 60's Ford. It was an improved version of what the Y-Blocks used.

There is a good diagram of the bracket, switch, and throttle rod in the 55-59 truck assembly manual, R.P.O. 315 sheet 200.
It doesn't give the bracket dimensions however.
