Thanks guys! That is good to know about the 45 mph. I have driven these trucks before. It has been awhile. We had a 1939 on our wheat farm that we used to haul wheat every year and for sure it would go 45 especially going down hill with a full load!! lol The steering would develop a vicious death wobble but she got the job done. My wife and I had a 1939 Plymouth pickup that we had a lot of fun in for several years. 45 mph was about it for her too and she did the wiggle wobble too. After I look it over, I’ll try again. I was so excited maybe I was doing something stupid like shifting from third back down to second instead of fourth. Sounded like I was upshifting but.... I plan on looking at those levers very carefully. Also I found the laylock 2-speed on here which sounds like a good plan. Thanks again. I’ll keep you posted.

[SOLVED - Thanks guys. Talked to previous owner today. Big lever next to driver operates a two speed mounted behind the transmission. It was left in low after loading on to hauler's trailer.] Just bought a 1941 Dodge Dump Truck 1 1/2 ton. It is a WF-32 model and the serial number is 8803598. I suspect the top speed is 20 mph if I really push it! It has a 4 speed tranny plus reverse. Took it for a little drive and on the way back in a 25 mph zone with the motor revved up pretty dang high in 4th gear cars were piling up behind me and it felt like about 18-20 mph! I bought this to haul stuff around this area and really do not need anything more than 45 mph. But will need that 45 mph on occasion. I’m not even halfway there!! I looked all over the rear differential and could not see anything that looked like a lever/actuator for a 2 speed or a plate where someone had covered it up. I will go out tomorrow and attempt to ID the rear end. There is a large lever sticking up just to the side of my right knee as I sit in driver seat. Than a couple of other small horzontal levers down low at the front of the seat farther out. The large lever would not go in any direction with the motor running and the clutch in. Some of the levers must be to run the dump up and down. I feel like I could pull tanks with this thing <grin> Any ideas on how to speed this baby up??
