68 Cuda fastback suspension rebuild...

What about just griding off the shifter bulkhead off the pot metal shifter sleeve. The backup light switch at the bottom of the column won't work without the colunmn shifter, so you can remove that too.

Don't know if you can get away with the shifter tube just being removed or not. Some previous owner changed over my Cuda and it still has the level at teh bottom of the shift tube.

I was thinking about modifying the one I have, but I wasn't sure how it would come out. I was already having problems with my column shift column...It would like...slip....Cant really describe it...The top (turn signal housing) would move slightly when you moved the lower shift housing in gear. Like the upper housing wasn't tight, even though it was, and it would slip and the gear indicator lever would read all funky, not accurately pointing to a gear....Does that make any sense?

And this was one of the reasons why I wanted to use a floor shifter, I got so damn irritated, I felt like throwing the column and doing a burnout on it...
