Shift rod modification
Good evening and Happy Holidays,
Just a quick question. I am working on a friends mid 80's small block 3/4 ton 4X4 Chevy pickup. I have replaced his rotted out headers with a set of Hedman Hustlers that he came up with. The primaries are larger and differently configured and now the shift rod from the column shifter is hitting them on the top right where the pipes transition into the collectors. I am just wondering if anyone makes a bracket or something that will enable the use of a cable in place of the stock setup, or is he stuck getting a universal floor shifter set such as the B&M Z- gate? Any and all suggestions are welcome. TIA |

A good set of headers are a couple of hundred so we just settled on a cable operated floor shifter $80.00. I was just not sure if there was possibly a cable that could be fabbed to the stock setup. > Mike > 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 > 'New' frame in the works for '08.
