Interesting Speedo in '39 Pickup
There is a '39 pickup making the rounds on Barnfinds.
https://barnfinds.com/80-year-old-cl...9-ford-pickup/ The Ebay listing shows an interesting speedometer face with shift points indicated on it. This is different from the speedo on my '39. What do you guys know?

Re: Interesting Speedo in '39 Pickup
Looks like it has a 4sp trans. The truck appears to be a 3/4 or tonner with axles changed and rear hitch of some sort cut off

Re: Interesting Speedo in '39 Pickup
I believe also that is a 3/4 ton with the available 4pd. Which had the speedo with the recomended speeds for shifting . I drove Ford trucks in the 50s with this. Boy what a bunch of misinformation in the discription. BOB.

Was used in big trucks not in commercial cars (aka 1/2T pickup).

Re: Interesting Speedo in '39 Pickup
This speedometer was used in all trucks with 4 speed trans. Top speed on speedo may have been dictated by different models.
