My '63 4000 had the shift integrated with the shifter knob. That looks like the standard "afterthought" type. Since yours isn't a "Heavy Duty" I wonder if the two-speed rear was added (dealer order?)

The VIN # is
V4008 P G8023E
V = Vacuum Hydraulic Brakes
40 = 4000 series (typical 23,000 GVW class)
08 = 175" Wheelbase

P = (build plant?)

G = 1963
8023 = 7023rd truck built
E = 16,001 - 19,500 GVW Rating

For comparison:

*My* 1963 4000 series
VH4016 G1750F
V = Vacuum Hydraulic Brakes
H = Heavy Duty
40 = 4000 Series (23,000 GVW class)
16 = 223" wheelbase

G = 1963
1750 = 750th truck built
F = 19,501 - 26,000 GVW
Mine is actually rated at 24,000
