DIY: How to fix a 4x4 shifter on a Ford F150

A custom solution for a manual 4x4 shifter. After a cab swap the low hump transmission tunnel did not have a cutout for the manual 4x4 shifter level. I hesitantly locate and cut a hole to install the 4x4 shifter on this 1983 Ford F150 4x4.

Another great video on how to do it, Thanks again Andy.

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks! This one originally intimidated me because I didn't want to mess it up. Hopefully the video will encourage others to tackle this chore with more confidence! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

That turned out nice Andy. They sell shift rod extenders that just screw into the rod if you want to raise that knob up a little higher.

Thanks! I really liked the first position and orientation better..... It just didn't fit. I will have to keep that in mind. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Good Job Andy 👍🇺🇲

Thanks Donnie! I really didn't want to cut the hole and delayed it longer than I should have. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I used tube steel and used correct thread nuts or bolts to extend shift handles.. they say that a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't

Good news is no one will ever see those welds 🤣.....I found out later I could remove it with the handle attached and touched up the welds (less boogery). 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks Zane! I was getting a little worried when I had to start cutting it into pieces. Thanks for watching my Friend! 🔧😁
