Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Well in the midst of trying to get my shifter cable in hand discovered a slight problem lol...... The chevy shifter have a 3 inch stroke in travel to shift and the fords use only a 2 inch stroke in travel when shifting........ So now to customize a shifter for my console that will work. Luckily I have a lokar trans mount shifter I am in the process of modifying to work on the ford center console.... Hate to just scrap and throw it away as nice as it is.... Will talk to the machinist about some nice scrollwork aluminum plate to surround the shifter stick where it comes out of the console!!!
