It's held on exactly the way it was in its stock form, but I may not have had it tightened down when I took the picture. Thanks!!!! I think it's turning out ok, just a bit more tweaking and I think it will be rocking! |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
That clutch linkage looks great, Mike. It'll be one of those things you will feel bad about covering up with such frivalities as the cab and stuff...

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
So, I've been out of town all week and don't have any new progress to report. I did realize that I never posted pictures of my latest mockup for the 4wd lever. I do have a lot of snaking and moving around to do here, but I think this will end up working out. I will have some items to address with the floorboard, but hey...we'll figure it out
![]() See how high the pivot point ends up having to be though. I am not sure I like that idea, but honestly I'm not sure if I have a choice. Nothing is set in stone here, so if someone has a better idea, I'm all ears. After sitting here staring at the picture, maybe it would be best to go back to the original mounting location and see if I could tweak the shifter to keep it out of the seat.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Looks confusing with all those shifters, if left alone only you can drive it,,

I doubt that, I have twin 18 year old girls, they are way smarter than we think.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Must be able to mod some kind of single shifter, you know like a boomarang, ok kidding on the boomarang but always a way to bend something then weld it to the base of the original type.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Good progress Mike - even if the progress is learning what's going to work or not for that shifter. May be just camera angle, but that overdrive(?) shifter looks like it is going to be hard to access behind the TC shifter. Have you stuck a seat (or box) in there to sit on and see if they'll be in good positions?

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
This weekend I was able to move back to the original position. It's actually going to work out well. I do need to tweak the 4wd lever a bit, but it's going to work well.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
So you will still have 3 shifters or 2.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Good job! Looks like that got the TC shifter both lower and further forward and out of the way. Plus the mount looks more stable than before.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
If all else fails you can notch the seat. This made it interesting when we had 3 going for a ride!

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
That's a beautiful car Brett! I really don't want to mess with the seat, but you never know. Seems like everything I've been trying to do to avoid that has added years to this build

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Can you make that bracket just a little shorter and lean it forward just a little?

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
I think keeping some room between the 3 shifters is best. It appears from your pics that the seat is hitting when it is in the forward position? Also assuming it cannot be shifted in that position? That's kind of why I posted the pic of the 55 Pro Street car (thanks for the compliment, seat is in the rear position). That had an extreme seat notch in it for a Nash 5 speed with a Long shifter. Your notch would not need to be as extreme I don't think? Another plus is you would not be using the 4x shifter all the time. As long as you can select your range with the seat in the forward most position you have kept all the functionality yes?
