hotrod ford,
I got the B & M truck shifter for my bump, (aint' put it in yet though).
I've had B & M before and love the simplicity of hook-up and mounting.

re: shifter?
hotrod ford,
Here's mine. Took it out of the box long enough to make sure it was all there, then back in the box.

re: shifter?
Hey Hotrod Ford...
The B&M truck version of their cable style shifter is alot taller than the car one.
I was gonna put one in my '71 CS w/390/C-6 until I decided to use it to fix up my '68 w/390/NP435 rather than use the '68 to fix up the '71.
IMO shifting gears is a huge part of the joy of drivin' my bump...
I can't wait to get to really drive my bus Old Skool... 5-speed w/a 2 speed rearend.
In 5th low, it will only go about 10-15 mph, but that sucker will pull a house doin' it...
