JEFF'S GOT A 3 SPD SHIFTER IN HIS FOUR DOOR THAT HE WANTS TO PUT A FOUR SPEED IN. HE'S GOT THE FOUR SPEED AND SHIFTER BUT A BAD BACK AND CAN'T LIFT IT. I KNOW THAT CHANGE OVER ISN'T HIGH ON HIS LIST BUT MAYBE YOU CAN WORK A DEAL. MUSCLE FOR A SHIFTER. IT'S WORTH A SHOT.

I was joking with ya but yeah I'd trade ya in a heart beat. If anyone has anything 1972 and down I'm open to running or project trades.
Runs good. I have my eye on a 58 Chevy and he wants the LSC but it's a 4 hour drive both ways to tow it home and my truck is broke.

I had this car years ago and I bought it back. This was my daily that I drove for a long, long time.

I'm good Joe. Thanks though. I have the rear diff cover leaking BAD but I'm going to tackle it as soon as the rain stops.

Andy the floor shift looks cool. I think you will enjoy driving it more now. I love a stick shift.

just having a hard time figuring out how to take old shifter off column. I thought it was attached with an alan head but I tried and doesn't work... about to get the cut off wheel out!!!!

Cut it off flush and wipe some mud over it and smooth it and paint it Very Happy

Was planning on doing that with the sleeve but I need to find out how to get the pin out of the shifter itself then I can go to work on the sleeve part.

Yeap. Smooth it out, paint it and stick a clamp and tach around it. Very Happy
