Ive been trying to figure out a way to swap out my automatic shift **** on my 1999 SD. Because of the overdrive button, its been a real hassle, and i actually relocated the OD button entirely from the steering column, but i finally got her together! Please comment and feel free to ask any questions!



Billet Aluminum Universal Shift ****
$10 at Walmart/Autozone/Advanced Auto Parts

 

Thats so weird. My friend (Davewave649) bought that exact **** today and I was like "hey I'm gonna put that in my truck.. oh but I'd have to move the OD button."

Edit: David is below

 

Treys right heres the one i put in my 63. just made a custom shifter for the truck and thats the **** i put

 

Nicely done David. I really like that ****. Neither pic does it justice. The only think I'd change is maybe paint the shifter to match the ****. And probably make the shifter shorter. But the height thing is just me lol

 

I was thinking the same thing..but nice job.

 

No electric windows, power locks, sync, console, bucket seats, oh the horror !!!!!!

Seriously I love it, nice job......

 

Well, at least you knew when to stop... unlike this guy!

 

Thats the difference between the new style guys (us) and the guys who like the old trucks! We like those things listed above, but for the guys with older trucks, they despise them! To each his own I guess.


Hahaha you should have seen it the other day. It wouldnt go into park because the mirror was in the way! He had to cut it hahaa.

But I gotta give him props where props are deserved. That shifter is way better than the old one, plus he made it himself so extra points for that.

 

just an opinion, but its a nice looking shift **** for $10

 

I like the **** but were did you relocated the button to.With a pic please.

 

Well i do not have a picture at the time, but i can post one in the future. I put it right on the left side of the steering column on the bottom of the top trim bezel. For some reason, there was already a hole there when i got the truck, so i decided to make use of the hole. I just got the new bezel from the end of the shift **** from the factory (the one that i destroyed in the process of swaping out the shift ****) and i plan to put it in this weekend, ill upload pics asap!

Thanks for replying!

 

Nice job, I just swapped my shifter yesterday for a working O/D button. Maybe I will modify the broken one!

 

Thanks! Here is the hole next to the steering column that I planned on putting that "remanufactured" over drive button in

 

Well I think I just wet myself with laughter when I saw that motorcycle pic.

 

Thats embarrassing..
