Here's the Truck
version, and this is the
Passenger version. Note that the shaft itself is made 180 degrees out from each other.
Also (not pictured), the shift lever itself is different. The '55 6 cylinder shift lever has a slight angle to it, tilting towards the rear of the truck as it is installed. The Passenger and V8 versions are straight, with no angle to them. If one were to attempt to fabricate a new lever, that would have to be taken into account for. Same goes for swapping out the shaft for the downward pointing lever version, the correct lever would need to be acquired or adjustments would have to be made to allow for proper gear engagement.
