Overdrive cable on a 67-72 Chevy truck?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know this is a long shot question...but does anyone have a pic of an overdrive cable, the one that mounts under the dash/in the dash. You know, the one that engages & disengages the overdrive unit?

A longer shot question...Does anyone have an overdrive cable for one of these trucks???

I don't think any of these trucks had overdrive. I could be wrong, as I have been wrong before.

Several years ago a friend of mine had a '67 with a 3 spd. overdrive unit. From what I am finding out, they were available, but very rare.

I told you I've been wrong before.

I've seen one but don't think I have a pic of it. If I remember right, it mounted under the dash sorta below the ignition switch.

I had a 67 with the factory over drive. It looked like a park brake release handle mounted under the key switch area of the dash. When pushed in it was in over drive, when pulled out it was in regular 3 speed.
I hate that truck burnt to the ground it was a factory A/C truck to.

I believe in the trucks, 1967 was the only year it was offered. For some reason GM pulled it after that?

I used the tranny and underdash cable from a 68 elcamino Gm used the same set up in other models You might have more chances of finding one on a chevelle site or similar and they are rare.
