OK chaps, help a brother out.
You used to be able to buy these things everywhere - its a simple three speed auto shifter which converts your rod operated column shift to a cable operated floor shift. These things were marketted to pickup drivers as they clear the big ass bench seats in those things.
They don't have any fancy NHRA lockout or whatever and they bolt to the floor.
All the Lokar ones bolt to the trans, I don't need/want a street rod type one.
I also don't want to spend a great deal. The ones I'm thinking of used to go for like £70.
Anyone got a pointer, UK supplier preferred.

if the truck in question is a manual Hurst do one which is about £70. I think Dannys Chevy Parts does them, I also saw one on Ebay last week If it's an auto I think the tall ones are either Gennie shifters or as you mentioned Lokar but they are more expensive. I thought Lokar/Gennie could be set up with cables though as well as bolted straight to the box. I think Jack Hammer Speed Shop stocks these www.namcoautomotive.com/

Akku, email Bryn. I believe he may have one he bought here last trip over, which he was unable to use in the Ford Rat. It could be easily adapter to a home-built turret for truck floor use. B&M I think he has. He sold the Ford, but the shifter may have stayed with him as excess goods. Worth asking. May help you both out of a spot. Norm
