Does Anyone Have A Custom Gear Shift In Their Truck? If So Do U Know Where I Can Get One And How Much Am I Looking At...i Want The Whole Shifter. I Would Like To Extend It Maybe Another 12-14 Inches....if Any One Has It Do U Like It Or Dislike It ? Did It Cause You Any Problems? Thanks For The Feedback

 

lol, I was actually thinking about doing the same thing...kinda like those big shifter handles they have in the custom big rigs...would be way awesome to grab gears from chin level!!! Let me know if you find one, I can find em anywhere...

 

I don't have a whole **** lever but I did custom fab an Eaton Roadranger shift **** to my shifter. Should have pics after the install this weekend.

 

I had an eaton shift ****, but I thought it only fitting for a six speed to have a six shooter.

 

you build that or buy it???

 

Like this 13sp. range selector?
It also deflates my air bags.
You can find a selector at any heavy truck parts store.

 

I bought it at autozone, you can also find them on ebay. I done a little work on it to make it secure on the shifter, the way it was supposed to install was pretty lame.

 

I'm going to use the air switches on the shift **** to control the cad.

 

How is the shifter **** attached? Screw on? or Press on? and how do you get it off?

 

Pop off the shifter pattern button in the middle and remove the lock nut.

 

Thank you sir! Sounds easy enough!!! We've got a lathe here at work, ima try n make a custom ****...we've got some 2 inch steel roll stock for scrap, i'll post up when I get it done...

 

Sounds easy the previous owner must have glued mine in because I had to break it to get it out.

 

ouch!

...any ideas for the design of the ****??

 

I bought a Hurst classic musclecar **** from Summit with the correct shift pattern. It has a brass insert that did not fit the 10 mm thread on the shift arm but I was able to extract the brass insert and turn a replacement with the right thread. One problem with the shift arm is it tapers down to the 10 mm thread and looks a little funky. To fix this I turned a stainless steel sleeve to cover the taper.

 

Gee, must be nice to be a machinist!
