Floor Shifter

This may seem like a stupid question but here it goes,

I was wondering, in a 95 F-150 straight 6, how does the shifter connect to the transmission. Its an automatic and i just wanted to see if anyone has herd of moving the shifter to the floor instead of on the steering coloum.

I may be getting a truck and ive been looking around for things to do to it.

Thanks

not Ford, not 95...but still an auto, my buddy bought a 1980 chev s/b 2wd with a turbo 400 auto trans there was a floor shift in it. You push down on the shifter and select a gear (no display). So it is possible, I would start off looking at B&M's website.

lokar makes a "stick" style floor shifter for an automatic that makes it look like you have a stick shift. it gives you a big old shifter coming out of the floor like you had a granny first 4 speed trans in it.

Ive seen the lokar shifter in the jegs catalog, but i never though it would fit a ford.

im guessing theres just a panel in the floor that unblots where the shifter would go for the manual trans?

Thanks

there is a panel in the floor and the easy way out is to go to b&m shifters and get the kit that has everything in it

Does B&M have a long shifter like lokar?

Is the lokar one much harder to install, or does it just not have all the parts needed?

Alos, does it install form the top or would i have to get it from the bottom?

Thanks

not sure on how the lokar mounts. i will have to ask my friend. he has one mounted in a pro street 75 F150 he is building to match the 71 F150 that he did 10 years ago. the 71 has a 428 CJ with a granny first 4 speed, and the 75 has a 460 C6. but when you look in it, it looks like it has the 4 speed.
