Seems like there was a high level security alert at Ol' Faithful, they found a 5 gallon bucket of Viagra, and they think someone was trying to keep ol' faithful up...lol

pics to follow and I have to get back to working on the truck

Thank you, kinda went with the spartan look. Still want to find a good rubber mat when they make a good repro. Doors are next to be painted by Maaco

I like those lokar rings a lot!

68GMCCustom · 11-07-2010, 03:24 PM

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.

they were one of the reasons I went Lokar, planned on putting them side by side, but they don't quite fit. So, I will buy 1 more and bend the outside edges down to fit the contour of the hump, then cut the LED surround and mount it on the top of the 2. unless I get another idea

postive locks on park and neutral, downshifts detented for D 1 2, upshifts no detents. Not into banging gears anymore, it's my money when something breaks...lol

I'd say go for it!! Sounds like a better shifter for your needs

68GMCCustom · 11-07-2010, 11:36 PM

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.

Are you looking for a B&M truck mega shifter???

Thanks Kurt,yeah, I'm shooting for springtime again. One of these years, I have to be running

the work to be done list is getting shorter, and the parts list is getting shorter! Actually, I'm looking forward to another winter in the warm workshop, not much happening around here except a fishin' trip/ snowmobiling in Feb. Presidents Day, if you are around...

low'n slow · 11-12-2010, 10:23 PM

Grew up in Idaho. Had alot of California hunters come up and shoot cows. (moo). We started calling them slow elk.

swamp rat · 11-12-2010, 11:26 PM

Thanks again! More great pictures, good river fishing too! course i'm more of a drift fisherman than a fly fisherman..

hgs_notes · 11-13-2010, 09:46 AM

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.

I won't comment on the Cali hunters, but your statement is funny...mooooo

swamprat, drift fishing in a drift boat, or a method of fishing?

hgs_notes, I envy all you people that had the chance to grow and live in the great open spaces of our country, I on the other hand only had 1 week to enjoy it, but it will be memories that I keep a lifetime

From Bozeman south for 1 hour I must have seen 30 trucks of our vintage!!

One more day and I will post up more pics of the Lokar install...

swamp rat · 11-15-2010, 04:57 PM

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.

understand completely, I've always used a noodle rod, but my son bought a fly rod for me for Christmas, soooo, I've only been flyfishing two or three times. I think he did it because I was catching more fish then he was on the noodle rod

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)

**jaros44sr** · 11-16-2010, 02:04 PM

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
