Re: Moms wedding present 49 chevy 5 window LS 4L60e TCI frame

Now I am in the market for a lokar or lokar type shifter for my 4l65e trans. Im torn between the 16 and 23 in and the single or double bend. Anybody have any suggestions or pics. I have been searching but damn photobucket

I'm at the same point and plan to go with the the 16 inch, single bend. The decision as to black or silver is still to be determined. My truck has the non-lockable drivers door (from the outside) so until electric locks are installed, I will have to slide across the cab and exit on the passenger side to lock up. Keeping things simple in the center is a must. Oh ,and I have bucket seats which should make it really fun.

I used a Flaming River column with column auto shifter and I moved my column left a few inches. I used the Lokar longer rod kit and I ended up rebending the rod (it's not too hard to bend it) into an "s" shape to clear other parts and get a straight run at the trans. Then I trimmed off whatever was left over.

Edit -
Never mind - missed that it’s a floor shift.
