    re: the McLeod shifter, it isn't really McLeod any more. I think I've read that the owner sold part of the business to B&M, but kept the shifters. You can find them from S&P or directly here: http://www.redrobertsinc.com/index.p...id=1&Itemid=53. You can get the shifter attachment location in a variety of positions e.g. forward, back and left and right.

    Thanks for the link,.That looks like what I want. I wonder how far that puts shifter in front of the seat with the seat all the way forward.

    Is your 14 bolt a full float or semi with locker?
    I looked for the McLeod shifter relocation and can't find anything on it for T56. Where did you guys see that? I also would like to keep stock shifter location and short shifts.
    Any 6 lug front rotor from an 88-98 truck should work. As far as I know, most 2WD 1/2 tons from 88-98 were 5 lug. I believe that most, if not all 4WD truck in this year range had 6 lugs. Also, I'm pretty sure that all the 3/4 tons had at least 6 lugs, sometimes 8. So, either a rotor from a 4WD or a rotor from the light duty 3/4 ton, which would be 6 lugs.

    The 14 bolt I have is a semi float. The full floaters are all 8 lugs and are overkill for a street setup. The semi float version has a 9-1/2" ring gear so it's got some serious beef to it. The axle is going to receive a TrueTrac

    I think it should be about right if you look at the picture of the stock location in 90'rado's. I spoke with Red on Friday and the part number for 4.1" forward and not side offset is 81-420-294-08 for the F-body T56. He's coming out with a newer model that will have a bolt on offset arm instead of welded as the current one is. He said with the bolt on you can just send him back the offset arm for something different.

    What is cost of shifter? I looked at S&P,but could not get to pricing page? I like the ideal of bolt on offset arm so if not satisfied with location you can send it back for better fit. It looks like 90' rado must be 6'13" by how far his seat is back.

    From S&P it was $279 and $251 direct from Red were the quotes I had.

    I'm not quite that tall. The bench just about had to be that far back to clear the shifter for 2,4 and 6.
