Vent handle & stick shift

Post by Craig Schmidt »

Well it is starting to get cold in MN, so well I took out the CCKW for a run last weekend I closed the vent that is behind the hood. I found out that when I shifted into 2nd gear the shift hit the vent handle. Is this how it is suppose to be or did I reassemble my cab wrong :?:

Looks like it might be installed backwards. Mine does not come out that far when closed.
