Automatic Floor shift - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bmrrwolfe · 10-23-2008, 09:10 PM

I'm converting my truck from the 3 on the tree to a 700R4 and want to do a floor shift. im also using a different cab that had a 4 speed floor shift, so it has the bolt on high hump and a hole already.
i was just wondering what shifters you are running? and if anyone who has a auto floor shift could they throw up a picture?
Thanks!

sorry no pics but IMO you cant do much better for the quality of lokar//i've had a few over the years never a problem ,i see alot of the more modern types like B&M after a few years they appear to be falling apart and raggedey

Mine was a manual that somebody converted to an auto and used a B&M floor shifter....kind of a pain to use with the pull up trigger....I'd much rather have the one on the column.... not only for looks but no console cup holder either! lol

I just ordered this B & M Unimatic from Summit for my GMC budget build for $120. I have a B & M quicksilver in my 65 Impala and am very happy with it.

That is a good deal, is there any way to put an indicator on it?

I agree on Locar. Good quality and several diffrent styles check out their site.

Ram-Man · 10-24-2008, 11:43 AM

I don't know if an indicator can be added. When it comes I'll look it over and let you know. I realize its a cheap one but this is also a budget build I'm doing

I have a Lokar in mine with an indicator I put in the dash.
