I'd like to move my handle back a few inches and am considering just trying a B-body handle.[T56 Magnum] 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

Dan and Scott, is that shifter "straight" off the trans, or does it joggle over to the passengers side? I need to find out if the T56 bolt pattern is the same as an original, the one I have now is from SST and is not a "Hurst". 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

I need to find out if the T56 bolt pattern is the same as an original, the one I have now is from SST and is not a "Hurst". Same bolt pattern. I sent the SST shifter back and called Hurst and they sent me one.
