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.

are these shifters short or long? i'm looking for one of the tall one so ii will be easy to reach. thanks

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.

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...

Here is a pic of my B&M Quicksilver, reach is ok, I could lift it up like I did in my Cheby but its easy to reach now. Seat is out of a 1993 F150.
