Thread: gearshift profiles

Tweet

I am about to order a floor shift to install in my roadster pickup. I have seen the Lokar offerings, and those from Gennie Shifter. They are fine looking gearshifts, and to a greater or lesser degree look like a "vintage" shift lever. In the 60's I ran a floor shift in my 60 Chev, (with a 4-speed manual tranny) that was made from a gracefully tapered bar stock, chromed, and drilled. It was about 1/2" wide by 1 1/2" at the base, and although the 1/2"width was constant, the other dimension (1 1/2") tapered from the floor all the way up to the round chrome shifter ball. About 2/3 of the way up from the floor, the shift lever had a bend of approximately 30 degrees towards the rear of the car. Does anybody make an aftermarket floor shift to work with an automatic transmission (turbo 350) that looks like what I just described? I really would like that "hot-rod" shifter look. I think that it must have been about 14 or 16" tall from the floor to the top of the shifter knob

The one from MR Gasket is cool just what you described you can get it at Advance Auto for under $50.00 The kid next door put one in his PU Truck works well universal fit with a reveres lock out .
