If anyone is interested again I have the clutch pedal plates $40. Plus the Shifter and Master Cylinder adjustable rod will soon follow I am posting pics of everything for you guys to see.

Oh and the shifter is a shorty style shifter and it looks sweet here comes the pics.

I have to resize the damn picture of the shifters biut tell me what you guys think.
Looks good! I really need to do something with my shifter!

Default Shifter

04gibbs YA know they only made so many colors and your truck is the start of something AWESOME. People in this area can not believe there is a 6speed in my truck nor can they believe I am going to have 2 trucks with 6 speeds. I love what you started and Keep the drinking up just don't go into a rage and want to sell your stuff.

Hey man I can help you as I mentioned my friend is a machinist and he can make you a shorty shifter just like mine if you want. Anything you guys need to make the install look like stock let me know and I can seel you the parts at a resonable price and it is a done deal. Forget fabricating stuff that does not work well. When we show these trucks with 6 speeds once someone opens the door they should say NO **** THAT IS FREAKIN AWESOME

Default Shifter

Thanks I will keep that in mind! I am thinking of changing my spring/summer plans for the truck a little.

BTW - 04GIBBS, I still have not installed the clutch pedal mounting bracket yet. Hopefully I will get to it soon. It is a very nice piece! Well worth it if you don't have a welder and time to fab one up!

It is a major pain unless you remove the entire front core support. put it this way if you lift the engine straight up there isn't enough room to pull it out with the water pump on it.
