not sure on the nss w/ 4spd...maybe someone else will chime in...

El Campo · 01-20-2012, 08:38 AM

Or you could do like I plan on doing and cutting both end off and putting Deutsch connectors on. Be better and more reliable than the factory one and personally I think they look way cooler.

ding dong....my version of the chime in....anyone have an answer on the nss for the 4 speed?

77chris03 · 01-20-2012, 11:00 PM

bump..

El Campo · 01-22-2012, 12:20 PM

Is there any particular reason u want a NSS? You don't HAVE to have one unless you plan on racing it at Baytown or Sealy. An every time iv been to Sealy they never checked NSS. Just my thinking out loud. Ron Francis makes a transmission mounted one that summit sells for about 65 dollars. Or are u wondering if the column already has it built in?

I kno u kno this already but if u get new bedsides make sure they are factory. My damn Goodmark fleet side bedsides that Roger sold me don't fit worth a damn and they made front lower corner of drivers side TOO LONG so it hits cab and now I have to go and pie slice it to make that brand new bedside fit

So you got it to fit or no? It's hard to see in the pics. It's looking pretty correct from what I can see. And where is the stake pocket messed up? Can it be cut out and patch welded?

at least theres one person on here that likes fish...mine are all cichlids...africans. i got pundamilia nyererei, eureka red peacock, rustys, albino zebra trophys, and blue trophys. thats in the 72 gal bowfront...
the 36 gal bowfront has 2 moors, 2 frogs, and a few other tetras...

anyways, back to the truck. i hope to get a few things done after work today, but we'll see...i still have drivers brake line to do and secure them to the frame and bleed them...i tried to do vent lines for the tank and my tubing bender wont do a complete loop...so round two on that one...i did get the booster hose but not installed yet...and the last thing i did was start on changing the power steering lines...theyre not the right year hoses... thats all the update i have for now...i will post pics when the column arrives, should be today or tomorrow..

Nice job so far. Love the look of the grill!

68 TT · 01-26-2012, 01:54 AM

The column looks great. I might have to get me one.

Have you looked it over to see if a stock NSS can be fit to it?

theres no place for a nss, so im still pondering cutting the column to add one...i think the diameter of the shaft is the same size so it might not be a problem, but just the thought of cutting up a new column disgusts me slightly...the only real reason i want the nss is for reverse lights..

I'm sure you could rig up a micro switch on the trans linkage to trip the reverse lights instead, or even just put a toggle switch in for them.
