Re: 72 stepside

if it was originally a manual shift truck, then there isn't provisions for the switch at all.
I normally say something like put it in park before shutting the engine off and it'll never be an issue.

Re: 72 stepside

My shifter was sloppy and slipped down into drive while my switch was out and I started the truck. Banged the curb so hard I had to replace a tie rod end and everybody was staring at me. Get that sucker replaced!
