Did the spacing of the detents in the shifter line up properly with the 4R100? Did you keep the shift interlock or just leave it off?

I'd have repainted the gear indicator flag red. I hate the orange...

Also, the new Lincoln truck supposedly has a leather wrapped handle that'll swap right on.

I saw your truck at the Home Depot meet a couple of Saturdays ago.

Very nice.

I like that graphic on the rear window.

I thought the same thing when I saw the name of his album was "spectre". Those things are nasty, no doubt. Sweet truck.

the "ac-130/spectre" thing goes like this: the Wyldman let me drive his truck for the first time back in 2000, i was hooked. they when we got ours, i just couldn't believe how Evil, Powerful & Deadly they are-- just like the AC-130. after reading an article on the 130's i wanted the logo painted on my tonneau-- as a reminder to all who are left in the dust! the real interesting thing is this-- my painter use to work on the gunships during the Viet Nam war! so he knew exactly what i wanted painted. it just took off from there. see you at the show in st. louis.

there was a lot of modification to the shifter to allow the detents to work properly. i also did use the reverse interlock and overdrive button. it took quite a bit of mechanical and electrical engineering to make it work the way i wanted it to.
