OD switch on a 1947 GMC?
bought a not running 47 GMC today, so I cant try the switch out, but it has three positions (all the way in and two clicks out) it looks like this:
 took a bad picture of the trans too. (has a PTO for a hydraulic dump bed cylinder)  what I noticed right away was the universal joint on the trans. its a 3/4 ton truck but my 49 3600 had a torque tube for about 3 ft off the trans before the open driveline. any ideas? its being delivered tomorrow so I can get more pictures.

Re: OD switch on a 1947 GMC?
The knob below the dash and beside the steering column should be the one to work the PTO. I'm not sure what you have going with the switch that is in the normal spot for the headlight switch.
Show us more photos of what ya got there as inquiring minds want to know more about this one.
