Alright, I might make a trip either this summer or one of the Holidays. But back to the shifter, the kind you have, I haven't came up with a lock out for it... If I make a shifter, I'll try my idea. I'll do that tomorrow.

The easiest way to upload to the forum...add your pics to something like photobucket, select the ones you want to upload/post, copy the image code...usually just click in the img box and it automatically copies it, them post/paste the code into your comment...you won't see the pic until you hit reply, then it will post it for you...

I had a spur of the moment purchase the other day. I went to O'Reilly 's looking at the price of a mr. Gasket floor shifter like yours and the guy offered me a B&M z gate for $40 without the brackets, cable included, no base. I can make the brackets and base outta some metal. I figured I'll do that instead of making a whole shifter. but when I get my truck back together I'll make my own.

I have the B&M and it is flawless. Easy install.

Comes with everything you need.

Working great after more than 10K miles.

I gotta make a c6 bracket for my z gate. I found a way around flipping the internal linkage, drill a hole below the column shift hole on the transmission shift lever and run the cable to the underside of it.
