Trouble was that the 4 speed floor shifter and placement of gas and brake pedals made it very uncomfortable to drive, especially in second gear and reverse was impossible!
So I removed shift stick from truck and with a torch heated it and removed the sticks offset so it does not bend towards my right leg, about
4 1/2" what a world of difference! I hope this helps out other tall AD lovers. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 | Lots of folks "re-bent" the shift lever. Dad bent his so 2 boys could ride in the truck to the dump. If you can fit between the seat and the steering wheel that shift lever can be moved a lot. Better than the F!@d, his wound up in the glove box in reverse.
