Sorry!! Here are a couple more pics of the seats. They were a prototype for Mitsubishi that never made it into production. -Edhttps://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...229421&width=0

Wow thats cool Bowtie_Schmowtie! The more I drive my truck with the shifter, I could use some more length on the shifter when I'm shifting into second. Yours looks to be the perfect length for that because its kind of a stretch to put it into second gear for me. But I would rather have a 3-speed anyday over an automatic.

You know how I can tell your truck wasn't originally black??? Hahaha
I love how wear marks like where the keys rub on the steering column give character to these old beasts!
And on another side note/hijack - if you ever bump/kick your mag lite holders and break them - PM me. I have powder coated metal ones that cost less than the "mag lite" brand ones and they last longer because they don't crack/break when you accidentally bump them

Here is my question, what is the column out of? I remember arguing with my dad years ago when I was a kid that the 78/79 broncos had the keyset in the column and he claimed no f series or bronco dents had keyset in the column. Seeing that picture made me remember that conversation.

Didn't start that until 1980.
I don't like the key on the column....
I prefer on the dash.

Yes I agree with ya, I like the key a whole lot better on the dash than on the column.

My shifter looks like a stick but its not!
I have a no name shifter from Pep Boys I like it though! I use to have a shifter from an escort before this one I went from a colum to the floor, the plastic is from around the shifter in the escort it fits the floor perfect! Check out my dash in this pic you can see my custom gauge panel I moved the radio up and deleted the heater controls and moved the gauge panel to were the radio was! I need to start a thread on dashes!!
