idea?

[repoman]

im wonder if there is a way to do a colum to floor shifter conver. on a 05 ram....1. i think it would look badass with a b&m quick shifter 2. wonder if it would work 3. i think it can be done .....input?

[SmokedRam]

I think one of our members done it,or were going to do it...I'd have to look it up. It can be done though.

Yep seen it somewhere? can't remember where. Basicly you need a stick shift steering column [junkyard item] or collar off of one and a floor shifter.

i think it can to just need to make a shiter cable im sure under carpet the it a cutout on the tranny tunnle...dont think thaking the colum shifter is too hard....led readout on dash is electronic and is mounted on side on tranny on shifter link...mmmm i need to look more into this

[Fla 66 cuda]

The shifter comes with cable and all of the associated hardware to install [i may have a cable in the shop some place] if your gonna piecemeal it together, one came with the charger.

yeah i was just looking at a kit from b&m they make a truck shifter.... a lil fab work and it can be done adding on my list....if im doing "legal racing" on a closed highway i manual shift it....it would be more along the lines for me i think

[SmokedRam]

Thats the shifter that the person on here used. DAMMIT I can't think of his make now.

Greg (Redtruck-VA) has a very nice z gate shifter which from the boot design you can prob' keep your cup holders.

I have the B&M Truck mega shifter as mentioned. To lazy to dress fit the boot so just left it off and it helps in clearance of my cup holders.

how was the install on it?

[SLT8]

The install of the B&M was simple enough using the forum DIY's as a good resource.
For the linkage i drilled a hole through the nipple for the B&M cable to go in and that allowed to use all the gears. If you dont have it lined correctly then you prob' wont be able to ratchet down to 1st.

dayton hemi pics of his linkage which is what i used to modify mine.

The removal of the column shifter was a PITA but had help from a local member and then relocated the OD.

[4XLGator]

:Angry:

Love the Satin Black paint myself but for a while i am done with the PITA maintenance of a black vehicle. The Satin Orange really blends in the dirt and i can also go back to satin black when ready since the orange is a wrap.

The caltracs are holding up great considering the lack of attention i done to adjusting them.

lol....looked better in the black satin....u need to nice name that damn thing "trick or treat"

[SLT8]

Thanks all. Its not everyone's taste but i am please on how it came out. Also since its a wrap i can always take it off when i want to go back to my paint job.
