Lokar column shift kit
 

I'm getting ready to install my new Flaming River steering column.

I plan to purchase the Lokar column shift kit ACA-1800

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lok-aca-1800

When reading the reviews it seems that some C10 owners, complain that the supplied rod (21") is too short for some applications. they offer a longer (26") rod, but it only available separately for around $20.00, extra.

Has anyone installed this column shift kit ?

Any feedback would be appreciated from anyone who has actually used this kit.

I think I have the Lokar one in my other truck but not 100% sure since it has been a while since I put it in. I believe it is a lokar and it works ok.

That's what I used on my truck with a TH350. Worked just fine.

I believe that is the one I used for my 700R4.

I had to order the longer rod for mine. If I had it to do over I would use the cable type. I only say that because I had a hard time keeping the rod from binding. With that being said the guy that installed my 700r4 got it to work vary well.
