There is a '39 pickup making the rounds on Barnfinds.

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?

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
 
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.
 
This speedometer was used in all trucks with 4 speed trans. Top speed on speedo may have been dictated by different models.
