I had a buddy in high school that ran muncie four speeds in his two wheel drive pickups with the column shifters!
It was WAY SWEET and he loved it, nice truck well done and beautiful paint to boot.
 The column shifter does 1-4 and the revierse was engaged by placing the column shift in neutral and pulling up on a white mushrrom knob sticking straight up thru the floor.
   Like I said, It was way cool...
