Same subject, different thread.
Bob look at your first picture above the reverse lock is on the right of the stick.

In post #47 above.... it is a picture of a parts truck, ex water bowser that I took apart years ago...... never noticed that the lock lever was on the right side.... never actually drove it either.

Now I am going to go back to my early archived pictures just to see how many margaritas I had been drinking....

More to follow.....

I have looked at original photos of the truck, some during disassembly some after it was reassembled....... and I have the shifter lock alternating from right to left....... and obviously it works on both side.

I also found pictures of tranny covers with short and long shifter and right and left reverse locks...... so I have been confused for some times it seems.

So for the record.... what is the proper orientation of the shift lever??? leaning forward or bent backwards...?

Currently it is on the left side bent backward and works well.

I better hurry up and finish this truck before I forget how to drive it.

They all show the lock on the right with the lever leaning forward to accomodate the semi COE of the CMP.

Civilian chevs have the shift lever bent backward as the cab is conventional.

Details drive you nuts.

NOTE.... I have confirmed that the reverse lock levere ONLY fits and works when installed on the right/driver's side..... and is actually pulled by the index of the left hand when shifting

Must go play with it tomorrow to refresh my memory.

Hi Terry, Had to delete the last posting - can't seem to upload pics in the correct orientation. Tried to downsize but my photo software minimum limit is 135K...more later. BTW - do you want us to repack and add a tarp to your pile of parts in the back 40?

What a wonderful day..... after 35 years of hidding it behind the barn my C15a is now registered as unplated.

I will be getting YOM plates and my shorty plate has been verified as OK now have to send the papers.

Now to finish the work on it for a safety and insurance......

The secret is perserverance against all obstacles an a course in Yoga to know which leg to stand on to please Service Ontario.
