Extra tall manual transmission shifting lever

Had to look twice, thought maybe someone redid the 66 I use to have…..

 

Very nice sir. Its getting harder and harder to find those old trucks that havent been molested... My uncle still has my grandpas he bought brand new. All original other than the motor and paint.

You still have that 66 or you got rid of it ?

 

The one thing I usually shortened was the anchor for the seat belt for the driver's seat. Got tired of having it stab me in the leg when moving to the sleeper. Took it apart and cut it down about 4 inches so it was below the bottom of the seat cushion.

 

Well, always been a fan of the task force trucks, so I traded it for the 1955 2nd series I have in the shop that came out of SC.


The 66 was still original mechanically, 3 in the tree with 6 in a row to make it go.

Guy drove by and seen my 65 mercury and just had to have it, so the 66 was part of the deal along with a kubota tractor and $$….

 

Those are illegal in most states. I read, bars can be no higher than 6 inches above the riders shoulders. Besides, ever hold your arms over your head for a while? No wonder we need laws to protect the morons from themselves.

Sometimes laws weaken the gene pool as a figure of speech, less laws would eliminate a few of the dumb dumb genes… just saying

 

Don't forget the chrome skull on top of the shifter. That's the cherry on top.

Gotta let everyone on the road know you're driving a manual
