I just cut the hole out in the floor where it had to be relocated to. I haven't actually gotten a shifter that would be totally comfortable for the truck yet. I have just been using the shifter that came with my t56.

I had the center seat in my truck. I took it out a long time ago because I intent on building a fiberglass center console. Now I have my t56 to build around.

It looks in your trucks pics that you have a long shifter and is located forward more than I thought. Is that before you put the T56 in it? You can get the T56 aftermarket with all different shifter locations from companies like Keisler.

Hey MJ, what kind of shifter is in your truck? i just installed a hurst in mine today and i was wondering if they were the same or not. Mine really shortened up the shifts but i'm gonna have to fab up something b/c it dives way left in 1st and 2nd and i can't figure out how to adjust it

I put a Camaro center consol in mine and it looks badass and gives me a place to hold junk.
The only problem I am having is making the spedo work right. I had a 5 speed so tuning was farily easy but I am going to try a 2002 Camaro M6 program to clear that up. We will see.
