Re: my Stock 73 short bed
How well does the shifter work? The one in the 82 I bought 5 years ago was unbelievably sloppy. I managed to shim it up a bit, but none of the main parts like the "shift bowl" are available anymore. I finally gave up and installed a 350 /TH350 and auto trans column.
Very nice engine compartment you have there! Mine had the 250-six with integrated head/intake manifold and "PAIR" system -- the cans on top of the valve cover.
