Good score on the Lokar shifter. It should work well.

Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah, these trucks needed some "scratching behind the ears" every once in awhile.:lol

I can't wait to get the Lokar in. I had one in my old '46 and it worked SO nice. The shifter I have now - whatever it is; maybe an old Hurst or maybe a Pep Boys special, has definitely seen better days. Plus the transmission cover is all jury rigged.

I have a new one and ran a bead of silicone around the underside to act as a seal for it. I MAY get time to install the whole thing tomorrow.
