Re: PO has me PO'd
so does that shifter have detents for positive 1-2 and 2-3 shifts? Or could use easily overshoot 2nd and hit OD or even N?
A buddy is offering me a 2nd gen f-body shifter...it would just need a console of some sort. Even though its OEM...those shifters had detents (apply right pressure to shifter while moving forward forced lock into next detent) so you could slam 1-2 and 2-3 w/o hitting N.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I had been thinking of going with a B&M Truck Megashifter. I want to get away from the column shift because it won't be as accurate as I will need for burnouts, shifts during passes, etc. I'm not pleased with the look of the Megashifter...but its more about function then appearance.
Now....if their Unimatic shifter or this Lokar gave me positive upshift detents...I'd go that way.

Re: PO has me PO'd
My wifes is from Idaho Falls. We usually go through the park or take the routes south on the west side and through West Yellowstone when we go to visit. Her mom lives in St Anthony where they have the sand dunes. Very fun place to play with a truck. Another good source for solid sheetmetal also.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Bank fishing using corkies and yarn, sand shrimp salmon row, allowing the weight to just lightly tap across the bottom on occasion, also spinners and spoons. Where i live now were talking about salmon and steelhead. I don't have a drift boat but its pretty much the same concept, i have been in drift boats and river sleads tho, its a kick in the pants! However i grew up in eastern washington fishing for trout, in rivers and streams i used a lot of wedding rings tipped with a worm or night crawler, sometimes just a worm with some split shot.

We usually start fishing Salmon in Sept., and then switch over to Steelhead in Nov., Dec. We use drift boats after Dec. as it gets toooo cold to stand in the water for 8-10 hours (15 degrees last Feb)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 had to reverse the mounting plates, since they would interfere with the shift arm, also radiused the plate about 3/32". Then it was just drilling 2 5/16" holes and cutting 2 parallel lines with my Dremel cutoff wheel  bending the ring to match the hump is the next challenge   next step is to work on the actual linkage...problems! Seems the billet aluminum arm on the trans. is better suited for 5/16" then the 1/4" rod and ends that come with the kit. Sooo, calling McMaster-Carr, they had the rod ends and rod instock (5/16"), ship today, have tomorrow. Gotta luv a welled stocked hardware store online
