Not a popular installation, so you will be the first. The center seat area is a popular spot for girlfriends and child seats.

IMO keep the column shifter. Reliable, no cost. Does the job. Allows manual shift if needed. There is no performance gain with the change. There is a reliability risk as well as NVH and appearance downgrades.

My wife would disagree with this statement. If I were to have a girlfriend and then let her sit where my wife likes to sit, there would be a shallow grave in my near future.

They say it is your truck so build it the way you want it.
Also someone has to be the "first" to do something.

I think I was the first to do a metal ribbed floor to replace the wood bed floor on my 81 F100 Flare Side.
Like you I asked if anyone knew if it could be done and if so what it would take, no reply's also.

If you do this post up what it took so if someone else wants to they have something to go by.
Good luck

I have a 4 speed and a bench seat. The middle seat is perfect for your girlfriend and that good old 4th gear shift finishing up with your hand on your sweetie's knee.

If you're married you better make darn sure that your girlfriend and your wife are the same person.
