Floor Shifter
I am getting ready to put a floor shifter in my 1965 c10 but I don't know how tall I want it.
Does anybody have any pictures of theirs? I am thinking 23-30" range. |

Re: Floor Shifter
If buying an aftermarket, I recommend the 16"-ish ones. You can see the pics and the part numebrs of mine if it is what you're looking for. 16-16.5" is about the tallest I've seen without going to the Count Dragula rat rod sticks that scrape the roof. Anyway, this thread has more than you're looking for - but it does have the stick info and pictures for reference/comparison to help you decide. Hope it helps. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=482069
EDIT: Oops - just noticed it sounds like you want a tall!!! one, anyway - maybe the pics here will give you an idea how much taller to look for. |

Re: Floor Shifter
Here’s what mine looked like many years ago when it had a TH350. Both shifters came through the original SM420 hole in the floor pan after about ¼” of trimming:
The first 3 are a 23” Lokar with a high hump floor: ![]() ![]() ![]() This is after I swapped in a 16” Gennie Shifter: ![]()

Re: Floor Shifter
gimmy I been looking for a steering wheel like yours...I always liked the old skool grant looking steering wheels....who makes it and where did you find yours? Did you have to install a steering wheel adapter for that steering column you have? Im in the process of installing a hot rod universal GM tilt steering column with a 9 bolt steering wheel adapter on my truck..cant believe the steering wheels cost just as much as what I payed for the steering column..
