Lokar Double Bend Radical 32" vs 23" in a 67

I was think of changing from my B&M Mega shifter to a Lokar double bend shifter. But I don't know if I should use the 32' or 23". I like the look of the 32" but want to make sure the travel from Park to Low gear (700R4) will clear my bench seat with center armrest. Should I use cable or linkage? I would assume I would have to mount the shifter as far forward as possible for full travel. Any pics or info would help.

there is at least one truck on this site running around with the 32 linkage shifter and it clears the bench in their truck. i think i found it by searching for lokar shifters a while back.
i have a extremely tall rat fink style homemade shifter in my truck with a 700r4 and it has plenty of room before it would hit the bench

i recommend the linkage, works great i installed a shorter style than you want in my wife's 67 and love it over the junk cheap one that was in it.

I did find one 23" on the forum that a good picture of what it looked like but the 32" I found tried to take you to some off site link that you needed to sign up for to see the pics.

I found the thread but the pics are no longer up. I think I have them stored on my other computer, I'll check when I get home
