   Yep, I believe you're right. Also, did anyone else notice that
this 5 speed (manual) truck lists a shift kit as one of the mods?
Ahhh yes, the elusive NV3500 shift kit. (because I really hate
when my manual vehicles don't shift when I want 'em to.) Actually,
I think I saw them for sale once in the ricer section of Autozone -
right between the synthetic blinker fluid and the muffler bearings...

   I suppose I could give it the benefit of the doubt and assume
they are talking about a Hurst shifter, but IMHO, the scoop,
duct tape intake and really silly exhaust routing put that
particular owner *deep* into a credibility deficit. ;-)
