I have ran into a problem with the build on my truck. The truck was a 1990 GMC 2wd w/v6. Long story short I put a chevy D60 under it and swapped in a tbi 350 w/ a th350 and 205 . The factory transs. shifter linkage was the metal rod connected to the steering column to the tranny. Since I reused the exhaust piped from my last build there is no way I can use this setup. Ive seen in a few magazines where there is a aftermarket cable that hooks up to the steering column and goes down to the transs. Anyone know anything about these?

the only one i can think of is lokar and it has snazzy brackets and shit. you could easily make your own from a aftermarket/b&m/hurst cable, but in reality they suck around heat and will melt the exterior sleave and completely fubar the thing.

honestly you may be better off with a aftermarket or home made floor shifter.

with the money your gonna spend on a new cable, bracketry, shifter, and such wouldnt it be easier to spend the money on gettin your exhaust routed differently?

Well yes and no. I could re-route the exhaust but there is some clearance issues with doing that. The bracket system I have for the front spring shackel (shackel reversed) doesnt allow me much room to move things around. I had a B&M floor shifter on the previous setup ( tube buggy). I might try and use just the B&M cable and make a bracket to hook it up to the column shifter bracket. Hopefully that might work.

keep that fucker away from any heat!!!!

Sheet metal heat shield wont be nothing to fab. The cable will be about 5 inches away from the exhaust tube.
