Apparently is was some sort of " transmission" that allowed one to slow or
speed up the cable between the trans and speedo, therefore allowing
incremental adjustment of the ratio, and allowing the proper adjustment of the
speedo to the proper rear end/tire& wheel size.

Given the number of people I know with "hot rod" 4x4's I assumed it was
standard equipment for guys when they wanted to fit oversize wheels and what
not.
