I am sure (95%) that it is the T-5 transmission that is used.

Not sure how much cutting is involved, but there is some. Frontline
states that the shifter is move back and they supply a GRP
transmission tunnel cover in the kit. My guess (and it is just a
guess) is that you have to cut new hole in the tranny tunnel for the
shifter. Any listers use the Frontline kit in a 1500?
