What shifter and stick are you running on your T5 swap?

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a rebuilt S10 T5 non-world class to put in my '65 C10 Longbed. I'd like to hear/see what shifters and sticks others have installed who have done this conversion so I can get a starting point of reference.

www.core-shifters.com has come up in my searches on here as a source of good information and products:

https://core-shifters.com/pages/swap-bases

He suggests getting the tranny in the truck without the shifter on, sitting in the truck and finding a "comfortable" shift position for neutral, then measuring that distance to the base of the flange, and then working backwards from there in order to figure out fulcrum height, stick length and shape, etc.

What brand shifter, stick height, shape, etc are you guys running? If you've got pics and references even better!

These forums have been a godsend for me on my journey thus far! Thanks in advance for the help.
