Re: reverse manual valve body
I would try and make a riser for your shifter. I ran a standard pattern valve body on the column for several years and it was kind of a pain. The ratchet style shifter is much better way to go imo. You don't have to worry about going into the next gear. You could always get a B&M Mega Shifter for trucks with a higher base. That's what I have and it works good.

Re: reverse manual valve body
mine sat too low as well so i made this fully adjustable platform for the shifter to get it up higher. you might be able to do something similar. mine has a tci manual forward valve body.

Re: reverse manual valve body
I want to put a cage in my son's truck and build a shifter mount off the dash bar. I have seen a sexy one on here that someone built.
