Where's your shifter? Post pics with reply, please.

Thanks.

LeDevil · 11-10-2008, 11:55 PM

Currently on the column

But once I put the tilt column in it will be on the floor

big_al_71 · 11-11-2008, 12:01 AM

Automatic, on the column.....

woodwright · 11-11-2008, 12:02 AM

I built a B&M Quicksilver shifter into the bench seat when I had my 81 c10. It was really confortable right next to my leg. Unfortunately the truck was stolen before I took pics of it. It worked well.

bmrrwolfe · 11-11-2008, 12:23 AM

I was going to go with an auto floor shift, but id like to keep the originality and if i ever need to put 3 people in it, i would like to be able to shift. and i found out a 700r4 will work on the column

PanelDeland · 11-11-2008, 12:29 AM

Mines a three on the tree.I got no pics.

Richard8971 · 11-11-2008, 01:27 AM

Automatic on the column with tilt! I don't ever imagine I'll put a shifter on the floor.

When I bought the truck, the PO had a 70's Camaro shifter bolted to a 2x4 on the floor, holesawed a place to run the cable through, and doing so where he placed it ripped the front of the seat. It did not work with a damn either, out it came.

On the column now, found a decent steering column, and all related parts. Couldn't be happier.

**El Jay** · 11-11-2008, 01:57 AM

Floor.
The PO replaced a Muncie SM 465 with a TH350; so a floor shifter was the obvious choice.

Sorry, no pics available. Maybe someday, though.

fastom · 11-11-2008, 02:14 AM

On the floor Lokar shifter, I love it!

LuckyHenriksen · 11-11-2008, 02:29 AM

Quarter stick. Planning on building a pedestal to raise it up to a more comfortable position.

**Palf70Step** · 11-11-2008, 08:20 AM

Currently it is on the workbench.

No, mine is an automatic tilt column. Since I am going to be using bucket seats I am thinking about going with a Lokar floor shift, but that is way down the line.

haysonj · 11-11-2008, 09:43 AM

B&M Mega shifter on the floor

67ChevyRedneck · 11-11-2008, 09:58 AM

700R4 w/ 16" Lokar floor shift.

71BB_LWB · 11-11-2008, 10:41 AM

Automatic on the column so my family can go with me.

hdflstf · 11-11-2008, 10:52 AM

Security guy · 11-12-2008, 05:42 PM

I'm thinking about the Lokar floor shifter as well, but does anyone know if it has a reverse lock-out? I'm worried about my girls kicking it out of gear while driving down the road. Any input on these?

dfosh · 11-12-2008, 06:01 PM

It has a button built into the shift knob. Push down to go in and out of park .Not sure about reverse lockout . Their web site might have that info or a member that has one . I have looked at them at every car show and never thought about that .

72BlckButy · 11-12-2008, 09:55 PM

Auto shifter on the column for me.

Soon to be a Tilt Auto Shifter...

tinlid · 11-14-2008, 05:17 PM

That button on the Lokar can start to rattle. Look at Gennie Shifter. It uses side pressure to change gears. Have one in my 28. My 70 C10 is going 5 speed so its going to have to be on the floor.
