  I have seen 60 mph and 100 mph speedos. What is correct for a 39 pickup ?
Thanks, Mike

  One speedo is for the 60 hp motor(60mph) and the other is for the 85 hp motor(100mph)

  Thanks. I have the right one but i like the 60 mph one better. The way the truck is geared im not sure it would go 60 mph.

the standard and pickup took a 3 digit to measure miles traveled. only to 99mile plus tenths
Were the Deluxe took a 4 digit so went to 999 miles plus tens,
a 60 miles per hour are probably out of a 1 1/2 to truck.
install a 354 -1 ratio rear end gears and make a driver,
you will use the truck more often,
my 2 cents, 37Ragtopman,Maine
