is that an auto shifter?

i really like that floor mount look, only if i could scrape up 200 bucks i would be all over it. do they make custom knobs for the shifter?

I purchased a skull head for my Lokar Shifter a couple of years ago at a swap meet - believe they have others.

yes it's an auto shifter, seems to be very high quality time will tell much better than the one it took out it wouldn't even lock in park

one slight bump and runaway truck

yes they do make several different knobs for it and also it think they have the midnight series (black) stuff too.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-23-2011, 07:27 PM

Let me know how you like the drop springs. And what brand of springs did you go with? I still want the hauling abilites of stock HD springs, I thought ECE made 4" burb/Hd coils but i looked and didnt find them?..

yea i hope so, i need to find another sway bar to, i want to redo the front because i don't trust the work of the people before me from all the stuff i've fixed on this thing.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-24-2011, 10:40 AM

Do you want the rivited frame brackets?

I'll keep an eye out in my junkyard runs let me know if you find one and i'll stop looking

I assume youd 'rather' have the large diameter?
