I don't have a task force truck but will offer this up, for whatever it is worth.

Hurst makes a shifter specifically for a 4-speed Muncie in a truck, basically just a longer handle. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HUU-3917308/

For my '65 C10 I bought their shifter for a '57 Chevy, it moves the shifter forward to help clear the seat. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HU...n/?prefilter=1

I ended up using bucket seats and a blazer console though.

I have that same setup in my 57, but I did it 32 years ago. Don't remember what I did. The knob is close to the seat but does work. I did put an extension on the shifter to make it taller, actually its a old rod and piston out of a Briggs and Stratton. The throughs are very long, the linkage needs to be modified so the throughs sre not so long.

we used to have the seat notched and that gave you the clearance you needed for the shifter.
