Your trans will operate without the governor you will just have to engage it with a switch and disengage it with the same switch when you stop or start. I strongly suggest finding a governor. The correct governor for out trucks has the rare black plastic cap. Only found on 67-68. But a older model with the steel cap will work just fine. The governor is a must have in my opinion. Ask if you need anything.

Thanks to you, I knew what crossmember and shift likage to find. Thanks for the tip on the governor, I already found it but now I'll order it. Herm is old school and seems to know overdrives. http://hermtheoverdriveguy.com
For the wiring should I get an O.E. type relay or use a modern relay?
