Good evening Gentlemen,

Long time lurker and now new owner of a 66 shortbed.

I have a question with regards to shifter location on a TK600 trans. Truck currently has a sm420 4speed installed and I would like to use the original shifter position. If that is my aim should I order the trans with the shifter forward, in the middle or rearward.

I could go and measure this myself, problem is that the truck is currently 6000 miles from where I am...

So, I am sure that I am not alone in fitting a tk trans to C10, what have others done or have found to work out best.

Truck will retain bench seat if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the advice.

P.
