[56 3100]

i already have a tilt column with no shifter and key. any one have a 55-59 with a bench seat and a lokar shifter please post up your pics. in regards to an automatic shifter i am thinking about using a 16" or 23" nostalgia shifter or regular 16"or 23". i am using a 88-96 chev truck seat shown in my cab below pic. any one know length of original 4 speed handle that had single bend. i have sold trans so i cant measure mine. thanks

What did that steering column come out of? and is that seat out of a regular pick up? or burb, tahoe, ??

Unfortunately I don't have the seat mounted yet, but it is out of a 88-96 work truck. The shifter is a 32" radical from Lokar. This only helps you halfway, sorry.

Were you able to mount that shifter with the trans installed ?

Yep, the transmission cover was out because I bought a new one. Since it was a column shift originally the cover didn't have a hole for the shifter. Once the shifter was installed I measured what size opening I needed and cut away. I was really impressed with the ease of install with the Lokar, it was a direct bolt on. Only had to trim the shift rod an inch or so. I've also wired the nuetral safety switch on the shifter...too easy.

It's definately up there in height and requires a certain taste. I almost bought a shorter one, but I kinda like the above the dash look too.

I used the longer one
32" I think with the double bend to keep it a bit farther away from the middle person on the seat.88-98 pickup

Wow, year 2080 and the truck still looks amazing, j/k. I've seen pics of your truck before and realy like it. I think yours is the reason I went with the seat I did. Mine had head rest originally but left them off on the recover.
