Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
I built a B&M Quicksilver shifter into the bench seat when I had my 81 c10. It was really confortable right next to my leg. Unfortunately the truck was stolen before I took pics of it. It worked well.

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
Automatic on the column with tilt! I don't ever imagine I'll put a shifter on the floor.

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
When I bought the truck, the PO had a 70's Camaro shifter bolted to a 2x4 on the floor, holesawed a place to run the cable through, and doing so where he placed it ripped the front of the seat. It did not work with a damn either, out it came.
On the column now, found a decent steering column, and all related parts. Couldn't be happier.

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
Floor.
The PO replaced a Muncie SM 465 with a TH350; so a floor shifter was the obvious choice. Sorry, no pics available. Maybe someday, though.

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
Currently it is on the workbench.
 No, mine is an automatic tilt column. Since I am going to be using bucket seats I am thinking about going with a Lokar floor shift, but that is way down the line.

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
I'm thinking about the Lokar floor shifter as well, but does anyone know if it has a reverse lock-out? I'm worried about my girls kicking it out of gear while driving down the road. Any input on these?

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
It has a button built into the shift knob. Push down to go in and out of park .Not sure about reverse lockout . Their web site might have that info or a member that has one . I have looked at them at every car show and never thought about that .

Re: Floor or Column, Where's your's at?
That button on the Lokar can start to rattle. Look at Gennie Shifter. It uses side pressure to change gears. Have one in my 28. My 70 C10 is going 5 speed so its going to have to be on the floor.
