Floor Shift.....? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jrromney69 · 11-18-2007, 01:05 AM

I'm thinking about running a floor shifter in my 69 pickup...
Does anyone have any pics/suggestions to any shifters that fit good in these trucks?
Oh yeah my tranny is the th400.

There is a B&M shifter in my blazer.I believe it's just a regular megashifter though..The blazer has the high hump floor of course being a 4wd so the shifter is within easy reach.No backup lights though...I'm converting it back to column shift.I'd rather do that than have to use a toggle switch to turn on the reverse lights...

1969k10stepside- your shifter should have a micro-switch mounted to it to activate the reverse lights. You can buy the switch for few bucks and avoid the toggle switch. I just did this last night with my new shifter. Here is one of many on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B-M-N...QQcmdZViewItem. It's a 5 minute job!

I have a b&m quick silver in mine............... and I love it.. They make a "truck version" now. its a little taller than the one i have. That might be better?

69trk · 11-18-2007, 07:30 PM

Here's mine it's a quarter stick reverse valve pattern with cable coming out the back. Had father in law make me a stand and works perfect. Don't have to lean up at all when out of park.

Here's mine, it's made by Lokar.

I have the same one but took it one step further. I made a different handle, a drive lock out & mounted it directly to the trans. It now moves with the tranny & never have to worry about it jumping gears. Pretty happy with it...

Jrromney69 · 11-20-2007, 04:55 AM

Yeah I might do what 69trk did and make a little stand type of thing for the Hurst V-matic2 I like that shifter in my buddie's camaro and want to try fitting one with my pick up, somehow....... :/
