I bought a big bolt from fellow bolter. My dumb question is. What is the little lever for on my shifter lever. It attached to the side of the shift lever with some mechanical linkage running along the side?

Thanks

It sounds like the lever you raise up, to allow the shifter to go all the way to the left and down for reverse gear.

Sounds right to me, if it is a pre AD transmission, or possibly a really early AD?

Cool truck! That is the lock out lever for the reverse. 1947s still came with the non-synchro transmissions. The 2 speed rear ends that use the switch on the shifter are more of a button that you pop up and down.
