like the new shifter???
 yeah i got a little bored in my welding class, so i made a shifter for my truck. its a polished 1 1/2 feet long piece of 1" tubing that i made bolt right up to the transmission. and i put a motorcycle grip on top, i think it looks good. im probably gonna put a motorcycle clutch handle on there too for the line-lock, hehe. later... |

Re: like the new shifter???
I like it, what kind of seats you got there?
They look a lot like mine.

Re: like the new shifter???
my seats are out of a 2003 blazer.
the shifting position is nice. i actually like it better then the hurst i had in there. wow, you found a 70 chevy in utica?? ive been looking for a long time around here, never found one. i got mine from nyc but originally from sc, which really made no difference. thanks... |

Have you driven your truck with those seats yet? I have the same ones (03 Tahoe) and for me the position was 'tight', curious about your results. I saw a thread about moving the steering column towards the dash, that must help alot. |

Re: like the new shifter???
i only drove my truck around the parking lot. im 6'1" and im comfortable in it. the steering column needs to go forward more but thats another issue. i wanna say the tahoe seats are thicker but i can be wrong. later...

Could you measure the 'depth' for me and I'll compare.  What I bought was both buckets/console and the 2nd row seat, they were intended for my burb but plans have changed. I here that the 2nd row seats fit pretty good in a pick up but only a 2wd having the low hump. (yeah, I tried in a 4x4  )

Re: like the new shifter???
Once you get that lockout on there I think that it will look awesome
