Default Short shift

Anybody remember watching trucks when stacey david did that 99 ram "little red wagon" buildup?

i faintly remember him installing a Hurst Short Shifter. NOW that truck in theory should have a NV4500... Hurst makes one for a NV3500... How would i go about finding out if they still make it or if it works?

I thought hurst was bought out by B&M

Thats hard core. That nv4500 should last forever behind that little 318. Ive never seen a gas motor with an nv4500 behind it, always an nv3500.

Nope, most of the gas motor dodges have the nv3500, i have one sitting outside. You have the cast iron case right?

Ive only seen the NV4500 in HD Chevy's, and Dodges. Ive never seen a 4500 in a regular duty dodge or chevy.
