Re: 51 3100 shifter ideas besides column 4L65e

In the end it is what you are most comfortable with. A lot of guys like the floor shift for the old school look that even if the truck came with a column shift they want a flooor shift.

Some want a column shifter because they need a bench seat because they ride three up a lot of the time. A comfortable bench seat that your significiant other will sit in the middle of rather than way over there isn't bad at times either. my neighbor's wife would have a fit if he ever bought a truck with bucket seats. Those two have been married over 2o something years and it still looks like a two headed person driving down the road in their truck.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
