Thanks for the info on the 'second shift thingy' . . . looks to be a simple and reliable way to shift a Columbia (and it looks like it belongs). It is really nice that this truck has a Columbia in that you'll be able to bring it up to modern highway speeds without having to rev the heck out of the engine. All in all, it looks like you've really got yourself a nice truck. My Dad bought a 33 many years ago, but then got too sick to restore it . . . so I've always had a soft-spot for them. Who knows, maybe somebody I'll build one!
