That shifter seems short to me.

Yes, the shifter looks short.  I first thought it was the t-case shifter, but not so.  Strange.

$2K w/o a bed?  Seems kind of high, but the truck looks fairly solid.

Looks like it's an SROD truck, hence the funky shifter. Looks factory to me, they weren't as tall as the Borg Warner and New Process offerings.

Thanks, Shaun.  I guess I've never been around one of those.

Little hard to see the shifter in my parts truck


Truck dose look solid but with out a bed I dont know on that price
Is that a long bed or short? I only looked at it pretty fast and the side  tank was used with both.

I did see it has PS but no power brakes or AC so it is set up like my truck was.
I am also guessing it would have the small wheel bolt pattern so the small kingpins too.
Or was my parts truck with power brakes the small pattern? heck I cant remember now
