Mikentosh..what did you do on your shifter location? Yours looks like its been moved forward..

Asking because I've got a 6060 and am considering wether to do a internal or external shifter relocation..with internal I'm concerned with the shifter throw being to wide with a longer stick..and the external corrects for the ratio but will eat up tunnel space..I need my shifter in approximate location of old floor shifter..between seat front and firewall..
In both trucks we used the forward shifter location on the TR6060, and used an adapter that you can get on eBay (search for Qwik Stik on there). They make them in various offsets as well so you can dial it in. I will warn you that these adapters are kinda hokey and the one in Cannonball busted apart at 90mph on the freeway . We have since re-engineered the mounting method to use studs instead of the bolts that come with it and it works much, much better.
