4 on the tree?
I just picked up my 67 LWB that is setup for a three on the tree.
I'm going to be putting my 250 Inline 6 with the four speed in it this weekend. Can I use the same steering column and have 4 on the tree? All my 67~70 trucks have been automatics so I’m not to well versed with manuals yet!

I had a 67 step, six cyl with a Muncie 4 speed column shift. I used a choke cable for reverse.... Put the shift lever in neutral and pull out on the cable for reverse. If it's something you drive a LOT it might get old after a while. I had a lot of fun with it though. LockDoc

Re: 4 on the tree?
Seems like my brother once told me of a vehicle that came stock with a 4 speed column shift.

Re: 4 on the tree?
I know some european cars had 4 speeds on the column, but as far as I know, nothing american had more than 3 gears + reverse.
I've heard of using a PTO knob to get into reverse... no idea how one would do this though. |

I know this is a late answer but............ Chevy(& maybe GMC) offered a 4spd on the column on the 67-70 style chevy C20 & C30 snub nose vans. I owned a 69 & the owners manual showed it in the options you could get.....joe

Re: 4 on the tree?
I'll keep my eyes peeled looking for the column. My M22 muncie sure would go nice in my 67.
