Looking to see what has been used for an automatic shifter? Has anyone used the Lokar type floor shifter? My truck is going to be mainly a street cruiser I'm getting to old to off road too much anymore.
I've seen the gated "winters" style but those seem to be a pain to move around into all the gears.
I'd love to do the whole tilt column thing but after the expense of an auto conversion another $500 is not available right now.
So if you have a cool idea or pics let see them. Thanks.

I want to use this one.
It is narrow and will fit between the drivers seat and my console.
Different handles are available. This photo shows the Magnum handle. There is also a ball handle. I like the blade handle; it is really narrow.
It is a ratchet style shifter so I would take it apart and do that grinding mod that makes them easier to shift from reverse to first. I saw Jessy do it on Xtreme Off Road once.
Lowbush here on CB did the Lokar shifter, but last I heard he was pretty frustrated with the install.
Bronco Driver mag had a good write up on the Lokar shifter install a year or so ago.
