I'm taking my tree speed out and putting in a floor shift with my buckets, does any one recommend a good shifter for reliability, and or good fit? b/m,hurst,etc.?
Also has anyone switch to a handbrake instead of emerg foot brake? how did it go?

Is it an auto or a manual? If it is an auto, I would definitely reccommend Lokar, but I'm not too sure about a manual.

I put in a Lokar shifter and a Lokar hand operated e-brake....You can get them at Summit...Easy install and they work great.

Here's a pic of my Trans mounted 23" shifter. I recommend the floor mounted shifter. I like mine, but it does vibrate and shake. No noise though. Excellent products.
