Re: Keeping my wife happy!
I had a Lokar in my truck before and loved it. Very high quality product. I went to a coumn shifter for a cleaner look inside after the resto. In alot of ways, I still miss the floor shifter.

Re: Keeping my wife happy!
if the shifter is wasting real estate on the floor, there darn well better be a clutch pedal to go with it!!!
i like a shifter on the column. if you could score a tilt steering column for your truck, that would be perfect for you AND your wife. they even make retro-fit shift indicators for those who have upgraded to a 4 speed overdrive trans! |

Re: Keeping my wife happy!
several companies carry them due to the popularity of swapping a 3 speed out for a 4 speed. check with LMC Truck or Car and Truck Shop....i know they carry 'em! I have a 3 on the tree in my 72 burb, but i'd have ditched that turbo 350 in a heartbeat in favor of a 200r4 if my truck had come with an automatic.

Re: Keeping my wife happy!
Alright, this one has me stumped. Have a clearance issue with the crossmember and the B&M shift lever. I have home fabbed on that may get me there, but if not may have to move the x member, or alter it to allow for the movement. Those rivets are no joke serious pieces of metal, and working without a lift has me thinking I need to lose 50 lbs. Seriously though, if I wack that x member off I feel like Im seriously screwing up, unless theres a decent aftermarket one to replace that would be MUCH smaller, possibly in a new location...gurus, your thoughts are needed... and maybe I can sweeten the pot for the best option with some parts, fuel pumps, o2 sensors, spark plugs are items I can easily get as sales samples.... lets hear em...when its not raining balls out Ill get some pics up

Re: Keeping my wife happy!
I installed a B&M in my 67, 350/350. I didn't have any clearance issues. What are yours? I may be able to post some pics if needed.

Re: Keeping my wife happy!
The shift nut is directly above the xmember, when I install the linkage it will only move a little bit, possible PO xmember change here, dont know, would have to cut a couple of inches out of the thing to get full motion in the gm supplied linkage... pics would be great!
