    How do you guys run your Dana 18 OD shifter on the back of an SM420? I'm not seeing how to fabricate one. Pictures please?
    Thanks

    I think my T18 shifter was less than 70 bucks.

    I have $13 in my wallet and the bare minimum in my bank accounts right now. I can make one though.

    My 420 had the big ebrake mounted to rear and has a pin for a lever to go through. I was thinking about drilling out the old od shifter and mounting it there then figuring out some kind of linkage.

    Everything is just kind of sitting there and not tightened down, but this should give you an idea. I'd be curious to see pictures how your front drive shaft clears the SM420.
