Re: BBC + Column Shift?

needs a cover for a finished look...I installed and adjusted and haven't had time to make a cover and the raw look is growing on me. If I put an all black stock interior in the truck like I'm thinkin, I'll cover it. If I don't, I think I'll try to make door panels like the dash pad

Re: BBC + Column Shift?

Looks like I am the only one so far that wants to go from a B&M floor shift back to a column, haha.

Re: BBC + Column Shift?

For not liking the B&M floor shift, I sure do collect them.

I have two. A Brand new B&M unimatic, old school. Also a Megashifter thats on its way out of my 73.

I don't have big blocks in any of the trucks, but the B&M Truck Megashifter works well in all of them.
