Thanks Mark, are you going with a cable shift or linkage and directly mounted to the tailshaft. Just wondering. Thanks Joe

Hi Joe, i'ts a cable deal, i made a bracket to shoot the cable out the back, so it goes through the floor with a grommet---then goes down to the shifter linkage, just to much stuff forward, to have the cable going that way. Plus once it got through the floor, the cable would have to do a 180 to get back to the shifter linkage. The only problem with my set up is you have to have a shifter mount--ie; bracket, console, or whatever. The pics coming up will show it somewhat. Thanks for the the interest, i'll help get into more detail if you desire, ok.

I said I would finish with the pic posting by the New Year, and I made it. Classic Broncos has been good to me, learned how to blog----and to get in trouble---Great people here, and thanks again. I'm looking hard for the catch, gotta have a daily driver---hum--hopefully soon!

Mark, when you get some time on it let me know what you think of the cable shift, I'm still leaning toward solid mount with linkage just think it will feel more natural like a standard.

Excellent work on the crawler top notch just like I would expect, the weight really surprised me I figured she would have came in a little heavier. I really like the bumper design, different than what you would usually see and I like unique stuff. Your ride definitely has a lot of unique stuff and craftsmanship. Good luck on the new year.
