Trends come and go in cycles, and we are so happy that muscle trucks are making a comeback. We've got leads on just what you need to transform your stock, pile into a balls-to-the-walls muscle truck. If you enjoy spinning tires, chirping gears, and pulling brodies then, like a garden you will dig these parts. You won't find a dash mat for a '69 Nova or a car cover for any Dodge from '79 to '84. You especially won't find any black cats, Roman Candles, Screaming Meemies, Ladyfingers, Buzz Bottles, Snicker Bombs, Church Burners, Finger Blasters, Gut Busters, Zippedy-Doodas, Crap Flappers, Whistling Bungholes, Spleen Splitters, Whisker Biscuits, Honkey Lighters, Hüsker Düs and Don'ts, Cherry Bombs, Nipsy Dazers, with or without the Scooter Stick, or one single Whistling Kitty-Chaser. No sir, we're not going to church anything up here; this is nothing but the good stuff. So unless you have to do some stunt work for Billy Ray Cyrus right now, sit back and enjoy the guide. If you don't, we can always get you a Whahburger and an order of French Cries. Maybe even a Whineken!
1. What could be better than chirpin' gears with this Hurst Shifter? Adding a cue ball grip. This lightweight shifter can be used on two-, three-, and four-speed automatic transmissions in both forward and reverse valve body shift patterns. It is a detent-type shifter so it will be next to impossible to miss a shift. Transferring the movement of the shifter to the transmission is a 5-foot-long cable. The cable features a solid 303 stainless steel inner wire core encased within a nylon liner that has been lubricated with Teflon for smooth operation.
