Name this lever?

So I just picked up my new to me '66 Series IIa FFR. I'm trying to figure out if it indeed has an overdrive.

The lever has two forward positions. I engaged it while in 4th, but it didnt do anything noticeable. The truck also hasnt had a tune up in 20 yrs....

Any thoughts? Is it a PTO?

that is where the overdrive lever would be, my SIII has overdrive and that is where mine is, but then again it could be a PTO hummmmm

here is a link to a pic of my rover, you can kinda see my overdrive lever

That is where the overdrive lever is installed - but then the OD might have been removed for one reason or another. (Some become 'screamers' and get tossed - or resold....) The OD isn't that noticeable - but it will reduce engine RPMs by 27% whilst maintaining the same road speed - like you can go 55 mph while turning 2700 RPMs as opposed to 4000.... Should be fairly obvious underneath: it's a volleyball sized lump slung off the back of the transfer case....

Cheers

An overdrive or PTO lever. What is on the back of the transfer case (if anything)?

Odd that it look like its coming out of the seat box. I always see them coming out the side of the tunnel cover. Looks kinda like there's a patch on the side of the tunnel cover right there.

Pretty sure it is a PTO right there since it comes out of the seat box.

It looks just like my PTO lever.
