HI.....the PO changed our truck over to a floor shifter but it was too short almost on the floor. I purchased a stick from another Chevy truck and with a bit of heat and a couple of bends and a welded off-set like Cosmo's at the bottom of the stick together with a supreme Elk leather shifter boot made by Alan Horvarth it all came together and it fools everyone. Column shifters are great(when they work) but when they mess up its not fun. Besides floor shifting is much cooler looking! Its hard to look cool using a column shift, grandma.....:>) Steve
