THANK YOU! I knew it sounded familiar, but looked right over it.

The only odd part is that the chart says 83/up and the truck in question is an 81. Mistake in the documentation? Likely...lol. In any case, that 4 is a new one on me. I've seen the 2 before, but not the 4.

1994 F150 4x2 Flareside. 5.0 w/MAF, 4R70W, stock.
1984 F150 4X2 Flareside. Mild 302 w/ 5spd. Sold.
1980 F150 4X4 Flareside. 300i6 w/ 5spd. Sold in 2021.
1980 F100 4X2 Flareside. 351w/2bbl w/NP435. Sold in 1995

I would agree - that's probably another mistake in the documentation. Here we have an '81 that has a "4" in that field and yet the documentation says that can't happen. Yet it did.

(Sorry for the hijack Fred)

Wow Gary! What a trip down memory lane.
Dad's Truck thread was EPIC! (I almost want to re-read the whole thing, but I think War and Peace is shorter)

I see you (and I) still haven't changed much. LOL.

Looking at you column pictures (sorry I hadn't looked earlier) the broken piece is where the original column shift lever mounted. Your truck was the "3 on the tree" setup. The floor shift was installed after the original column shifter either broke or got so sloppy it couldn't be driven.

Full of something, at any rate...

"Information" perhaps?
