What floor shifter? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mygirlz55 · 09-27-2015, 05:48 PM

I'm looking at purchasing a Lokar automatic floor shifter for our 55.2.
Question is, do I get a floor mount or transmission mount shifter. Also what length? Our truck has the stock bench seat and wondered if we need to get the 'bench seat' style shifter or will a standard type work.
If anyone has pictures of their setup, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Lokar 23" floor mount in a '49. It's ok. The adjustment still isn't perfect but it works. No problem clearing the bench.

I have a transmission mount Lokar in my '57. I think it's an 18".

We used a COS64L60BM 16" lokar kit. You will need to get a neutral switch and if you want an indicator that's also separate. You also need to get the boot, We got the CINS-17002 indicator package but would not use it again. Its expensive and its hard to see unless your directly in front of it less than 10" away.
