B&M Shifter questions
I'm planning on putting a floor shifter in my Burb. Has anyone put anything other than the "Truck" shifter in? If so, can you post a pic or two? Thanks.

Why aren't you a fan? I've owned 2 and liked them. Just curious what you don't like about them.

Re: B&M Shifter questions
I'm thinking I might give the Lokar one a shot. I was looking on their website and like the emergency brake setup that they have that mounts on the tranny too.

Re: B&M Shifter questions
Are we talking automatic or manual? If auto, I put a B&M star shifter in my 69 stepside that I had left over from my 66 Chevelle when I changed to a 4 speed. It's a car type so would normally sit too low but I made a metal table for lack of better words that I bolted to the floor to raise it up about 6 inches. I don't have any pics but I'm sure you get a good visual.

Auto (TH400). I see what you're saying as far as raising it up goes.
