[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 747703, member: 6317"] Once everything was in and I had the seats where they were going to be I turned my attention to the shifters. Luckily it didn’t take much to get the JB Customs shifters to work out. The real headache was the doubler shifter. I started out with some ½” steel rod and chucked it in the lathe and turned the OD at one end down so I could tap it to 7/16-20 to match the threads on the JB shifters because I had plans for knobs already. Then I took some much smaller diameter round stock and bent it up to see how I needed to work the ½” rod. I used the oxy/acetylene torch to heat and a jack handle to bend the rod to the desired shape. Of course, this took several tries before it worked out, but all said and done I’m happy with what I ended up with. These pictures show the billet knobs I got from JB. The Dana 300 shift knobs are sweet, and I ordered the doubler knob based on a wild ass guess riding down the road one day only to find out I was wrong. Jon at JB is super easy to work with and said I could exchange it and if I wanted to have something laser etched in the transmission knob he could do that too so I sent both knobs back today and hopefully will have them back soon.
