Well, after removing umpteen 5/16th bolts from rusty plates, and the shift linkages, it's fairly free. I haven't unbolted the bracket from the dash yet, so I guess I can do that tomorrow evening. In an hour of work, I think I dropped about a quart of sweat on the floor of the cab. It's miserable hot/humid down here in Houston.

On a side note, I don't need to remove the left manifold do I. I noticed a little resistance there. I guess it will be a lot more maneuverable once the dash bracket is undone.
