I don't really do facebook so I have no idea how I would find the gentlemen you mention trw1982. However, NITROUSN your points are noted. Shift indicator is not an issue. Manual trans in my '76. In fact it is a new toy I just picked up. It is a put together rig from a W100 and a D100 both original /6 with the manual hump. So it has a muddy pedigree, but has good bones. The '78 long bed AdventurerSE I had from 1980 until 1997 had a tilt in it. This one has had a 318 put in it with an A833 OD and floor shift. I have numerous plans for it, but fixing the minor issues and enjoying it for now is what is on the immediate list.
