thanks for posting that, never knew something like that even existed. that will definitely be a later on down the road buy, my indicator on my daily driver has been broken for like 7 years and dont bother me any. but the wife will be driving this thing too so will probably have to get one eventually.

so far im in that mindset of just wanting to get this thing running, steering, driving and stopping then ill start buying and fixing all the other issues with it

Re: 1990's steering column in a 51

honestly i can't even see it over the column/wheel
i have to lean forward to see it, i do more of a feel shift
gm column shift has a built in detent where drive is all the way forward
you have to pull the shift lever up to select any other gear



you do have to get a little creative when using a 3 speed column on 4 speed 700r4 if you want to find low gear
