Has anyone run into the same thing before? and what was the solution? Thanks in advance!

The shifter shouldn't be that far over. The Dodge vans are only box frame, you can cut a section and move it in a little as long as you reweld some metal in to re-box it.

Maybe that would help to provide a solution. | | | Re: Frame in the way | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 |
