Anyone running a B&M Starshifter 80675 with a bench seat?
If you're worried about height, you might consider the Hurst Pro Matic 2 for a pickup. It has a longer shift handle.

I run a Cheetah shifter in my 74 Sport and I can reach it with no issues.
Another thing that can be done, is to build a small pedestal for any shifter you pick, to make it a bit higher. It can also be angled slightly back to bring the shifter handle in closer.
Just a few things to ponder.
