Default 95 Ram 5.2L *5-speed* :) .... Short shifter options?

How bout it fellas. New member here, but definately not a newbie to the car biz. Been building motors for 10 yrs, and just purchased my first Dodge.

Is anyone running an aftermarket shifter in their truck? I'm looking for something not necessarily shorter in length, but the throw itself. This thing has like 10 feet between gear gates lol

Any pointers is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks guys.

Scott, do you have any pics of what the shifter looks like in the truck? Also, do you have to lean down to reach your shifter with that Hurst?

Thanks

I am also interested in seeing the shifter mounted in the truck. The shifter looks pretty short on the Hurst website.
