RFC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thank you Phil I posted that and started having trouble with my internet. My boss wound up getting a new stick for a Granite and they will trim the floor a smidge as the tower is a hair bigger and then cut and reshape the stick. Basically it will be a one of a kind. I'll know over the weekend how it shifts. It's got to work on Monday and my route has a lot of hills in Rockland County NY. Be interesting to see how this truck will run with the 460 and this trans.

RFC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yea we all have our horror stories. Was up at the shop today and the stick is in. He didn't have to cut it I guess you can adjust it. It's tall even longer than the 11 speed stick. I like it. Will be interesting.

Speed Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Get you one of them shifters that you scrape your knuckles on the roof like "Rat Fink" always had.RobI have one of those in my '74 one ton,made from an older ('49 or so)GMC COE shifter,slightly re-bent to clear the dash,with an extension I made from a 283 Chevy connecting rod from my '62's original engine. It's not high enough to scrape knuckles on the ceiling,but if I hold the shift knob when shifting,my fingers knock the rearview mirror out of adjustment. I usually just grab it by the "big end" of the rod though.
