Automatic floor shifters pics requested

Post by la1031 »

I am looking to convert my truck to a floor mounted auto shifter. I am not the biggest fan of the huge B&M style shifters. Hav anyone put a floor shift in their ride that has a more OEM look? Has anyone used a large ratchet shifter that does look good and can change my mind? Please post some pics, it is soo hard to pic a shifter out of Jegs or Summit and know what the final result is going to be. I am leaning toward the Locar auto shifters but trying to lean away from the price tag....ouch.

Here is a pic of the B&M truck/suv megashifter, I wasn't sure how I was going to like it but it seems to work real good. I'm happy with it but now I need to clean up the rest of the interior lol

Here's a couple pictures of my B&M Z-Gate. It seems like a good shifter but it needs to be a little farther up on the hump cover because first is up aginst the seat.

not to hijack...but anyone here remember a shifter made by B&M that looked almost like a motorcycle grip mounted on a shift arm?? Arm didn't move, but the "grip" operated a cable shift mechanism...


i need to find one of those units

now, back to your regularly scheduled thread :D
