New Lokar 34Inch AOD Floor Shifter !

I was leary at first and it may not be for some, but it is growing on me. I know a lot of guys did 26incher. I wanted to be a little different

I like it more every day.

Yes it is their 34 inch "extra tall one", nostalga double bend. I used all Lokar mounting linkage that came with it and their cables for kickdown, throttle etc. All hooked to a brandnew Ford AOD bolted to a Ford Racing 306 (302) with 340hp 350tq.

The next size down from his one hits just at the bottom of the speaker grill, I believe it is the 26" one.

I like the lighted skull idea, however it may be a little radical for my tastes. At first I thought this shifter was too tall and was going to order the 26 incher, however it grew on me. Who knows after driving it a while maybe a skull will appear!

I am 6' 2" and when I reach out this one is actually right there, very ergonomic and is also exactly 34 inches from the floor pan to the top of the **** all mounted and done. With my motor and trans combination, it all fit right in the stock location also!

I loved having one of those shifters. Had one in my bagged '94 F150, 460/C6. I'll definitely buy another one in the future.

I purchased a 26" for mine... to also go on an AOD.

I chose it not for the long 'look' so much as it was a homage to the original big-a$$ 4 speed shifter the truck had.

I to was going to pay homage. I orderd mine by mistake and was going to send it back for the 26". After seeing it the next day it kind of grew on me.....LOL When I sat in the seat and tried it out it is ergonomic and comfortable for me, I am 6' 2". After the second day I loved it.

Pic with the seat and carpet installed.

Got one on mine as well. Looks great in park, kinda annoys me when going down the road. Since it kinda sticks up right between the passenger and I If i ever get the dang thing out of the body shop, I'll take a picture. I have a hand painted Frankenstein shift **** for it as well as their adapter to make it work. The adapter adds just a little in length.
