The shift handle looks like it would be just the right height as a floor shifter in a full size truck.

What the heck! Did GM use a long legged sloth for their ergonomics studies?

1987 Pontiac Formula

lol.. I think it comes from the 4speed days when a little force was needed. Looks just like the 60/70s era 4speed shifters. My HD 396 3spd had a shifter that looked just like that.. If you were speed shifting it took a bit of force to ram it home. Enough that sometimes you bent the linkage instead and ended up in 2 gears at once.

Remember the truck 4speeds had a stick so long it hit both the seat and the dash board. The 68 gmc I had actually had the paint worn off the dash where it rubbed.. and you could barely get it in reverse(was back and towards you on that one).

For some reason I've always liked those daytona TAs. Would be cool to update one a bit. LSx, mild drop, lower body colored CCWs.

Kind of like what I did with mine? Yup.

I could always swap a turbo ecotec into it. Very Happy
