Auto floor shifter pics wanted
I'm to the point that I need to decide on a shifter. Probably going with
a Lokar. But trying to decide on a 16" or 23".
I think the 23" will probably have to much throw from park to low, but I like the look of the 23" nostalgia shifter.
The plans are to use the stock bench seat.
Thank you
John

I went with the 32" nostalgia because I wasnt sure of the seat height when I ordered it. Looking back I think I'd have gone with the 23", but it's still pretty comfortable where it's at, doesn't hit the dash or the seat, and it looks cool shaking away through the windshield at idle.

Thank you all for the pics. Decisions, decisions. Sometimes trying to decide which way to go is the hardest part.

I went with a Gennie shifter in my 52, it's a 16" one. With the gennie it's side shift so you can use any **** you want. No push button needed. It clears the dash and the 3 pod gauges.

I installed one in my panel and it does work well.

I don't have a picture, but I also have a 23" Nostalgia. I was worried about it fitting with the stock bench seat, but after seeing where the transmission ended up, decided to go for it. I have mocked it up and it looks like it's going to be just fine. There is a little bit of adjustment in the mounting luckily.

I am using a B&M Truck megashifter in mine. I can post up a pic of it in the truck if you like (have to find one first). It's a touch low down on the floor as opposed to these long shafter shifters, but shifts nicely. Not terribly traditional looking, but a nice strong unit. Plus, it has a ratchet system for manual change ups...great for burning guys off at the lights.
