Finally getting around to working on one of my '48 2t.'s. Fenders and hood off, engine ready to be pulled, and have just about finished stripping the dash. I plan to lift the cab to see what's going on underneath, easier to do the interior sheetmetal anyway. The truck had a governer-a gizmo on the back of the speedometer and another under the carb.. Anybody wants the pieces, give me a shout. I'd like to find a sheet of color samples (the actual colors, not just the names) to decide which green.

The piece on the speedo is the converter for the two speed rear. It keeps the speedo accurate whether it's in the high or low side,

Thanks Scott, a guy had fiddled with the truck before me, and things were a little confused under the dash. So the gov. is just the piece under the carb.?
