I do like the way you think, GT.

Better stick with the one pipe though. Will probably have to compromise on the muffler anyway, but thats as far as I will go..................probably!

Tony, I have inspected the truck and the transfer case lever is there. It is however stuck fast in the pivot point....I removed the 2 retainer bolts but it may need a bit of tlc to work it loose from the housing. Other then that, the lever appears to be in reasonable condition, only surface rust on the shaft, the gear knob is missing as usual.
If your still interested Tony ill get a quick snap of it in the morning and post it up to see if it meets your needs. If so, then ill work on getting it out.
Regards, Nathan

What on earth is this lever for?

I have been moving it from one place to another, each time I tidy the workshop, without any idea exactly what it is. I once thought it must be a part for the transfer case, but unless its for a PTO it can't be.

Any thoughts? Is it even for a CMP?

It looks like a front axle engagement lever for a single speed transfer case.

This is an interesting set of instructions for Allied Forces fighting in Normandy, titled....

Fighting in Normandy: from*Combat Lessons, No. 4A 1944, Rank and file in combat: What they're doing; How they do it. The purpose of*Combat Lessons*was to give officers and enlisted men the benefit of battle experiences. The article discusses the unique problems of fighting in the Normandy hedgerows.
