Default Re: Manual to Automatic

Thanks AZ Ken...my comment about the leg room is for my height, 6'6" but my grandfather bought this truck when I was born, family history...learned to drive in it.
I am trying to gain room not just side to side, but length/depth as well. I know the new tilt steering column would allow more room, a smaller steering wheel, and might as well get the proper column for the shifter...and lose the floor shifter as well.
I won't do the work myself, have a friend who's a mechanic, and may assist him to see and know the end result. Writing here gives me sense of what's needed and necessary.
Some members have mentioned that you can extend the cab, but that seems like it would involve a lot of cutting, fabrication, welding..and I'm not sure that's worth it.
