Re: anyone have a 23'' lokar or floor shifter pics or ideas for my 70 c10 th350
I have installed a couple of Lokar automatic trans shifters. I put one in a 58 Chevy truck. I looks like a manual trans floor shifter at first glance. The workings of the shifter itself are great. There is a neutral safety switch, and when the shifter is operated it feels like a quality piece. I do not have any pics, but If I was looking for a floor shift, I would look no farther.

Found it, but it appears not all the links are still good after 3 years

I read a bunch of stuff about Gennie and Lokar. Both were pretty well liked, but the Gennie came out ahead. I have a 23" Gennie that will be going in my panel.

Re: anyone have a 23'' lokar or floor shifter pics or ideas for my 70 c10 th350
yeah, i really like the lokar shifter, they look great, and are well constructed, exactly what you would expect from that company (got to play with one at their traveling display).
Ultimately i decided against it, because of the button being located in the center of the knob. My thumbs just don't work that way, and it's the same complaint i had with my 84 camaro. I prefer to grab the knob over the top, rather than gripping it from the side.

I initially went with a 23" then sent it back. Too long for my taste. Felt like I was in an 18 wheeler. I swapped it out for a 16". Here's a pic for comparison. Excuse the cell phone quality.

Knowing nothing about either...what are the main differences between the two?

Re: anyone have a 23'' lokar or floor shifter pics or ideas for my 70 c10 th350
Recently installed a 16" in my '70- has more of a 'stock' look to it than the 23". The longer one would be cool for a 'rod' though
![]() Very good quality part that works extremely well so far- have yet to actually drive with it. Please excuse the construction zone that is my cab...

It's a Lokar 16" floor mount with a black anodized knob.

I have the 16" Lokar in my truck now, and I love it. Very nice quality.
