Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
After about a year I finally got my baby driving again! A 1970 c10, I swapped a new engine in after cleaning it up and upgrading it some, a sbc 350 and I swapped in a th400, my dilemma is it was originally a 3 on the tree and I need to make a shifter on a tight budget, I put an th400 column in it but I need custom linkage for it. Right now I'm getting under the truck to shift it.

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
Go with the B&M unimatic shifter. Here is the link on summit, but Im sure if you shop around you can find it even cheaper. Easy install

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
I had an old international truck with a 283 and turbo 400 and used an old pinto or mustang II shifter , there are a couple on ebay for under $75 right now.

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
You might call around the local salvage yards and just tell them your looking for a truck floor shifter for your 400. Alot of people throw these B&M shifters in their vehicles and they cover many years so i bet you can find one cheap.
Post a WTB add on craigslist in your area to... someone will have one they arent using anymore. You wont need install instructions... Plenty of videos on youtube and I think you can download the install instructions online

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
You could get one of these LOKAR Kits. I installed one on my 700R4 and it works great. You could also save a few pennies by getting one of these Shift Arms and fab your own rod and ends.
Don't know how they'd work on a K though.

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
Contact cash3481 or Teeitup from this board... the I know the 67 Pickups came with the SBC with a 400 turbo and they probably have the factory shift setup for you... I have a 67 with that combo...

Re: Desperately need ideas for a th400 shifter!
I used a floor mounted S-10 shifter for my 700-r4.
Cool part is it has a built in anti theft built into it.   http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=560192
