mr48chev:
I like the one out of an 80's gm. that may be a possibility. If I mount one under the dash, I prefer one with a release handle. Makes hill starts with a 4 spd easier.
As far as a floor mounted handle, Ive got a 3rd row seat out of an Astro van. Fits good and is comfortable. I have about 5" between the door and the edge of the seat. So a floor mounted handle may work.
Thanks for all the ideas.
