Re: What went here?
There doesn't appear to have ever been a hole in the floor for a shifter so it's anyone's guess at this point. The crossmember for the bellhousing mounts is bolted in with non-original bolts so it apparently has been out before. Since there was no factory crossmember that bolted in at the location shown in the pic my guess now is that it had an automatic tranny in it at some point and this was where a home-made crossmember was bolted in. If this is the case they went to the trouble to convert it back to original, as the column looks to have never been disturbed and there's no sign of any other shifter ever having been there. Just part of the fun of buying a 53 year old truck I guess. The PO had the truck for 8 years but didn't know any history on it other than he thought it came from Alabama.
