Can I... Have a column shift auto
« on: May 15, 2012, 01:04:01 AM »
did the bedfords come out with a colomn shift auto??

I want a bench seat up front, so i can fit 3 in.. 

If the bedfords didnt, could a steering column from a donor car (Hq holden) and linkages be doctored? Anyone know a suitable donor?

cheers

cheers for the replys

i am very interested in the hq/z column mod..  i really want the shifter up there... 

anyone got pics of a bench style seat with the floor shifter in place...  that might have to do if the column shift is a no goer.
I have some new 2011 landcruiser seats, driver and passenger +1, from my old man (werent comfy enough for his old bum)

The early days we used F100 columns,reasonably easy to adapt in the bedford
