wow... so if the shifter fits, you can get a short shifter for the truck....... makes me want to get a D21 to beat around <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

The only problem with the short shifter is I think it would be too low.
And yeah, the trucks are slow as shit in stock form. HOWEVER, once you get rid of that ridiculous stock double muffler system, add a breathable intake, and lose the 12 lb clutch fan, it begins to break the slow barrier. Seriously thinking about getting the camshaft grind. Been corresponding with Jeff from Colt Cams in BC.
BTW, the truck's dry weight is 2800 pounds. I've found that with myself in the truck, is weighs about 3000 with gas in the tank.
One more thing, I think the earlier model Nissans had better gearing in the rear. Mine has 3.55's which suck. I may still switch it out to the 3.90 of the automatic, which I was told is what it has. However, when looking at a junkyard parts search, said the MT came with both 3.55 and 3.90's, while the auto came with 4.11's. That may have been 4x4 I'm thinking. But not like it would matter. It's a truck! If I get it low enough, I'll have a granny first, then use 2-5 as the regular shifting.
