Sure the truck has a 460 with a c6 trans. If you notice in the interior picture,there is no floor hump for the trans. When the engine and trans was installed the bell part of the trans just touched the tunnel. So we lifted the cab 1 inch. Then a trans hump wasn't necessary. Decided to paint the grill to match the interior and the tone of the wood. Other than the guages the dash is completely smooth. All switches are on the bottom edge of the dash. the truck all so doesn't have a shifter. It has a electronic push button shifter on the kick panel. I made the gas tank from scratch and it under the truck. the gas tank cap is originally for a motorcycle tank, you push it, it pops up,then you can turn it to remove this got rid of the wart on the side of the cab and gave it a really smooth look. The owner had bought runnig boards for the truck but did not fit the contours of the truck, so we made them.

I ike the pushbutton shifter idea...I saw one that a vendor was selling at a Goodguys show here at Del Mar a few years ago. I wonder why they haven't gained more popularity...as I recall the cost could have been a factor.
