    1. I completely missed that. I went back to the listing and found the seller’s comment about it…

      To maintain originally and aesthetics – it also deters theft. The truck is an original 4-speed. We modified the donor ’17 Camaro SS ratchet shifter to appear like the original Jimmy stick (pic 158). I’ve had surgery on my left knee & ankle so clutches and I don’t get along for extended driving periods and this truck was built to be a driver.
