I'm slowly putting together a 66 half ton, with a 350 and 3sp OD. My question is, can I shift this in and out of OD manually? That is without the electric solenoid. I wouldn't mind a second shift lever at all.
Thanks for any thoughts or replies Jim

No, It must be pulled in with the solenoid. It is simple to wire up. Here's how I wired mine.

If you have all the factory components, use them, they work well.
There are safeguards built in to prevent damage to internal components such as the reverse lock out. I have seen the result.
The relay used in cletis diagram is a good alternative if the factory components are not available.
