My ‘81 had a T18 when it was 2wd. This isn’t a great picture but you can see the curve of the shifter cane if that’s what you are looking for...

STRAIGHT SIX 4X4: 1981 F150 2wd to 4x4-- 300 I6 close ratio diesel T19, hydroboost brakes, Saginaw steering

Shaun has some great side by side pictures of the bent sticks, since (as I recall) he has modified the straight stick from a five speed to look period correct in the '80-'81 trucks he is so enamored with.

Jim,
Lil'Red is a '87 F250 HD, 4.10's, 1356 4x4, Zf-5, 3G, PMGR, Saginaw PS, desmogged with a Holley 80508 and Performer intake.
Too much other stuff to mention.

Here is my T18 before the NP435 was swapped in.

Here is the NP435. I had to heat & bend it a little to clear the seat because it sits back about 8" from factory because of the Advance Adaptor over drive in front of it.
It does have some crazy bends to start with!

That's what I did with my '84. I grafted a curvy NP435 stick on to an M5OD stub so that my 5spd truck actually looks like it has a 4spd in it.

I'm going to do the same thing with the 5spd in the 1980 project truck, but I want to replicate the T-18 shifter that would have been in it originally.

Seems pretty straight forward going by the pictures posted. Thanks gentlemen!

I have others of the T18 on my web site with the trans out of the truck if you need them.
