Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
I'd be interested to see where people have fitted non-stock transmissions, the changes they've made to their cab -bucket seats, shifter position, trans type?
I did have a look but if I have missed an existing/old thread please set me straight ![]()

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
Here's a shot of my interior. The powertrain is a 350 Chevy with a Richmond 4 speed under a high hump floor. The shifter is a Street Super Shifter which mounts the unit high up with straight shift rods, although I'm running a conventional handle, and ProCar bucket seats:

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
Wow that is some cab! What's the heater unit from? So, the Richmond - shifter position similar to an m20/21/22 etc.?

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
Here's mine with a 4 spd Saginaw and old school Nissan pickup seats with the headrests removed. The floor is a low hump and the shifter is a Hurst.

The shifter position was essentially the same as where a Muncie would have placed it with a stock Hurst shifter. The Street Super Shifter moves the shift housing up into the shift boot, and several inches further to the rear.

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
I take it that would be so that you could shift gears more comfortably or use a shorter shifter for less throw? The position at which the shifter comes through the floor looks pretty close to the 420 trans. I wonder if that is the case for all the new venture transmissions?

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
on my 64 with a Saginaw 3 speed from a 69 C10, the emergent brake cross member interfered with the shift linkage, so it sets back a bit further, which means it would not clear the bench set. I put in buckets from a 98 C1500 pickup (very comfortable). Shift linkage is the Hurst Indy for a 69 C10 truck, with a old handle from something (Mr Gasket I think).
The Billert piston shift knob was just added last week.

If I do another swap like this, I will move the motor back. there was another hurst bench seat shifter I loved but could not use because the stick would hit the dash in 1-3-5

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
'98 Chevy 60/40 cloth split bench. NV4500. The shifter sits back 8 or so inches from the original shift tower hole. 2nd and 4th gear put the shifter about 1" away from the front of the seat. I really want to shorten the shifter 3-4" but haven't had the time yet.

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
I have a factory bench seat in my 1065 C10. Here's my T5 with an S10 shifter position and no adapter plate and the cast iron bell is in the factory location.

Re: Cab Pics request - manual trans shifters & seating
Here's mine. Sm420 with a seat off of a 01 F$#D pickup. With behind the seat gas tank in stock location. Plenty of room for 2nd 4th and reverse.
