Default the "what have you done to your truck today" thread...
yup i figured id start this one up...sick of nobody ever posting any good news on this forum all bad news...soooooooo lets hear some good stuff

today, i bought a b&m t handle shift knob... even though it was the "thread on" kind, i bought it anyway and i figured id make it work...

i took it down to my shop, measured the shaft itself, drilled out the threads to the size of the shaft + 3 thousandths..

then i drilled a small hole in the side, tapped it, and put a set screw in there.

looks and feels awesome.

then i got ambitious and pulled the shift knob and the shift boot, sanded the shifter shaft and re painted it now im waiting for it to dry so i can reinstall the boot and knob tomorrow...

gonna do some universal joints to the ol girl tomorrow too...


WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TO YOUR TRUCKS TODAY?!??!
