I'm not sure how one would look bent, I suppose I could try? Here is the problem with the basment enterprise, I've got $60 bucks and 2 1/2 hours labor into the shaft and ****. USPS.com says shipping would cost $5 to $10 flat rate. I'd have to get at least $100 bucks to make it worth it to me to mass produce. Send me a pic of your bent shifter, I've never seen one.

I haven't really built anything to special for my truck.
My trailer didn't have a loading ramp when I bought it so I built one; here is the ramp I finished a few weeks ago.
I used 1x1 square tubing to support the plywood with 1x2 side rails. I made the hinge out of 2X2 angle and 1/4 x 3" flat stock. It folds up flush inside the back door and I built a locking latch to hold it in place.

Default Relocate radio, install gages on 02 3500

Have been playing around with where to mount 3 gages, have a Sony radio with CD/cdrw player extra i bought some month ago, found this under dash radio bracket, bought pigtails from factory radio, is a premium unit with CD player, to Sony unit
Waiting on 2 more gages i ordered from VULCAN, is going to install and connect a 3 along with low pressure light, have one light in one to go.
Took light from pocket, placed it above radio, so it is easier to change Cd's at night.
Have a pump relocating kit there need to be installed too, will do that when i adjust valves and have my injector pump friend to check/ rebuild/ replace tips as needed. Do rebuild injectors ( Lucas and repair cav pumps ), just don't have the setup for Bosch.
