Automatic floor shifter
I'm going to be swapping a 351W/C-6 combo into a truck that currently has a manual transmission (several reasons for auto., long story). So I'm going to need an automatic floorshifter and needs some opinions on which one.
The ones I have looked at are:
B & M Light Truck Mega-shifter, Hurst Pro-matic (with 15.5 inch stick), Lokar Street Rod (16" stick) and American Shifter (16" stick).
Does anyone have any first hand (or even second hand) knowledge of any of these that would help me decide for or against?
All opinions welcome!

I have a 351W/4R70W in a '70 F100. Think I used this shifter, but I HOPE I didn't spend that much.

They have the same style for a C6. I liked that it mounted FIRMLY to the transmission and used a rod rather than a shifter cable. Works great.

I used a automatic shifter from a Aerostar van. The shifter is tall and works very well with the bench seat. It also has a low profile floor mount so someone could still ride comfortable in the middle.

Anyone know anything about American Shifter. Their stuff on the website looks a lot like Lokar's but slightly less expensive. Anyone have any live experience with this brand?
