Floor Shifter TH350

[fastnloud]

My 82 Sierra has a TH350 trans with the shifter on the column. I wanting to get a big, tall floor shifter put in my truck.

So, far I've found this one. It suppose to be a total of about 3 feet long.

Does anyone know of any other really tall shifters made by other brands, that are around the same price or cheaper? Just wanting to look at any options that are available.

Thanks guys.

I put the wrong link in the first post, this is the one I'm looking at.

Why a long shifter? Move the whole thing up on a box.

That thing looks pretty cool! I wonder how hard it would be to fab something like that up?
And I wonder if it would work with my 4 speed auto...

The link above is setup to a 700R4. If start in down in 1st gear, you can slap the shifter to jump up to the next gear all the way to OD. It has a reverse lockout so you don't accidently shift into Reverse.

Does the shift indicator in the dash still work? or no

[gchemist]

Nope, indicator is on the slap shifter console.

been looking at lokars for awhile now, just havent got one since the 700 isnt ready to go in my truck yet but i love it. get one and throw it in i wanna see how they look in the truck

[slugish]

yea , like also . let us know if you get it & if you like it or not > seems a little pricey?

[fastnloud]

Thanks guys for the replies, looks like I'll probably end up going with the "Radical 32 inch" Lokar I linked to start with.

And, the reason I'm wanting a super tall shifter is because I like how they look, and I'm going for an overall menacing look with some rat rod type styling with my truck.

If you really want a gear indicator on the dash dakota digital has a few options.

Mine came with my trans. I run my original linkage tandem with the lokar linkage to keep my reverse lights and gear indicator

I like that...Too bad those shifters are so darn $$$$.

[1slo_camaro]

that looks a little short to be the 32 in. but stil looks awesome! i really wanna get mine! haha

i also ran a B&M Rachet shifter back in my 75 with a 468 and th400 and FREAKING loved it! only issue i had was it would hit the seat sometimes racheting down the gears but nothing a little bit of the M-A-N Button wouldnt fix

I think if I ran one I'd go with the real tall one as well like eveyone else has said, Do you have any pictures of how yours is set up to run the original linkage in unison with the Lokar?

Has no one ever found these cheaper? Or a slightly cheaper alternative?

X2...what he said

Yeah, the 32 inch Lokar I'm looking at comes with linkage, so maybe it wouldn't be too hard of an install.

Is there a way to put a gear indicator in the floor?

I haven't seen gear indicators. For these. These shifters were made for hot rod roadster car cars. Just has the shift pattern on the shift knob

I fabed a box up for a consul shifter our of an 82-92 camero. I like it, mine was a short shifter too. I've got some pics on my build thread.

But like insidious said, run it tandem with original linkage, and the gear indicator on the dash will work at least?

Is your lokar shifter mounted on the floorpan, or on the trans itself ? I know lokar makes both styles. How do you like it ? I have been thinking about getting one for my 72 C-10.

I like yours, but you really can't beat an original Shiftier, out of a 73 GMC

79 GMC High Sierra Jimmy Full Sized


See this is why you should never buy an automatic then change your mind LOL, my tittle says Automatic Transmission for the 79...oops 4 Speed Manual with Granny Low.

Mines mounted to the trans. I like being able to feel the engine through the steering wheel and shifter. Of coarse this means you have to have a hole in the floor. I used a hurst super boot with a made in America plaque over the hurst insignia. The ones you get on your edelbrock intakes now. I gotta say if neutral was locked out along with reverse or even made it ratchet I think it would be quite the shifter to have
