Shifter Recommendations - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TFagan · 03-02-2013, 10:10 PM

I have installed a LT1 out of a 1995 Buick Roadmaster in my 1958 Chevy Truck - step side. It has the 4L60E transmission. I was thinking about getting a center console with floor cable shifter to use. Will this work? Any donor vehicle recommendations? Any other ideas? pictures would be great - Thanks in advance.

you could always look at a floor shift auto Camaro, Chevelle or pretty much any 70's car that had an auto floor shift in it. You'll find all the parts you're looking for

I'd want to do a bit of research on what vehicles had that transmission that had factory floor shifts in them. That shouldn't be real hard and some may have a better looking shifter in them than others.

One possibility that should be fairly easy to find would be the second generation S-10 Blazer style rigs that came with that trans.
You may end up building your own console though to get one to fit right.

Thanks - the blog searches are interesting. I will continue to search. I do not want to cut a large hole in the floor board removable pan. Thanks all
