I just picked up a 67 swb truck and it currently have a lokar shifter on the floor. how hard is it to convert it back to 4 speed on the columne? anyone have any links to people that have done it? i have a 700r4 tranny if that makes any difference.

thanks

First of all you need an auto column and the bracket that bolts on to the cab, between the column and tranny. A wrecking yard should have an old pickup with all these parts. I also have a 700r and I haven't found a 4spd indicator yet. Hopefully someone will produce one of these to fit our pickups.

Outbacktruckparts has this, or at least did....pic included:
For around the $10 mark. Is this what your looking for?

why are you changing? i might would trade you for the column stuff if your shifter is good.....

I think it looks cleaner with it on the columne. the lokar is like new, not installed to long ago. and I have a plain idiot columne right now.
