The lower right +/- 15% of the "Two Speed Axle" cover (from the right edge of the W in LOW to about a 3 o'clock position) is broken off. It looks like the cover is either aluminum or pot metal? I have not seen this item in any of my parts catalogs? Any leads on a replacement?
Thanks y'all, Dennis | | | | | Joined: May 2018 Posts: 51 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2018 Posts: 51 | As far as I know, the only option is used, or maybe nos if lucky. The market of parts for larger truck is weak. Luckily enough, the big bolts share the same cabs as the 1/2-3/4 ton versions making the "general" stuff plenty available.

If anyone has one not being used or knows of a parts truck or a junk yard resident with one on it, I would very much like to discuss purchase and shipment to Texas!!
Appreciate any help, Dennis | | | | | Joined: May 2018 Posts: 51 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2018 Posts: 51 | Did you try to post in the "parts wanted"?
I'm sure many buy larger truck cab to fix 1/2 ton or so and don't need the selector. Might be worth a try...

I have a complete valve and the linkage to operate it, not sure of the year of the truck it came from. If I ever make use of the rear end it came with, I'll be using electrical solenoid valves, not the mechanical one. Got a picture you can post?
