Cooler in my son's eyes, not mine. I like the uniqueness of the column shift. Even my oldest sons looked perplexed when I told him it was a "3 speed on the tree". He thought it was an automatic. I laughed.

"darned column shift linkage"? I LOVE the "3-on-the-tree" of these trucks. If mine had still be there when I'd bought it I'd have left it. YOunger people today have no idea what a 3 speed column shift is or how to drive one. Anybody can have a four speed floor shift, but oh well that just my opinion.
