Naw, it's actualy an electric shifter on the diff housing, it has to be shifted while the truck is in motion. The hi/lo switch is actualy built into the knob on the right side, a small slider switch that cant be seen in the photo, and the wires are taped to the shifter.
Spent today mounting the new plates, removed the FUBAR mudflaps & started getting the new one mounted, and got some new marker lights & was fiddling with wiring. Kind of in limbo for gettin parts till the 15th, so the brakes will have to wait. Till then, lots of electrical work to do!
Now, if that ol bastage I bought the '56 shop manual from would get over the flu & send it, we'd be doin good.

As for the Bomber, it's in storage right now awaiting better weather so I can set up the forms & start making the rear deck lid. Since I'll be working with wood & bare sheet metal this wet weather can be a real bear. The truck on the other hand, there's plenty I can do with it before I get to the point where I need to worry about water messin up my work.
I am going to yank the engine out of it soon & give it a good going over. It has a lifter that refuses to adjust, thinkin it may have eaten itself on the cam break in.
