Default H2 Shifter Conversion

Hey all. I'm a newbie around here, but have been on SilveradoSS.com for a while. I am looking for some info on doing a H2 shifter conversion on my 03 SS silverado. I already have the shifter and the bezel for it, but I need to do a little research first. I know the factory shifter is cable operated, and the tow haul button is on it. I have no proble relocating that, but I have to figure out what else I need to make the lock out in the H2 shifter work and all the electronics work correctly. I got the idea after seeing Sling Blade in the August Truckin' magazine, plus a real SS is floor shift not the granny shift(column) it has now. Thanks any and all info is appreciated. Later

Dave

I'm interested as well. It really got my interest seeing that article too. Course I wouldn't mind doing the entire H2 dash in mine.

I hope you get this figured out, I'm sure there are plenty of us that would prefer a console shifter over the stock setup

Best of luck to ya!

Pretty sure you're correct in saying it's wider. The article in Truckin' mentioned that the dash was modified to fit in the truck. I'd prefer to just use a shifter from someone like B&M or Hurst and fit it in the stock console. The biggest hurdle from reading on the link posted is making the wiring work.

Don't know if this would help with it, but you could probably contact them to find out about lengthening the wires and using the shifter ***** with the push button for the tow/haul feature.

NOt really worth it IMO. If you just really want the look then go for it but it is going to take a lot of work obviously.
