I used Lokar on the 36. Have a 518 trans. Seem to have good adaptability to unique situations.

I may end up modifying one to look like a standard shift, not sure yet. One problem with the normal aftermarket shifters is thier height. It will need to be tall enough for a truck. Randy

i have a lokrap in my rod,,in my experience it doesnt seem to adapt well to a 904,,as far as the built in nutrel safty switch,,it doesnt work properly in all positions,,but they do have several length arms to choose from,,,gennie shifters were first lokrap stole there gate design and added a button to the shifter,,,,
i also wanted to put a push button in my rod,,but the cost to adapt a push button tranny to except a modern lock up converter wasnt worth it in my eyes,,,imperial services makes a push button adapter for non push buton trannys,, but ive \heard its expensive,,

Then definitely get the Lokar. Had a Gennie in my Trailduster, and loved it. The Lokar has a pushbutton that my Gennie didn't.

I have a catalog on the way from Gennie. I liked the looks of stuff on thier web site and didn't want a button on the shifter.Randy

I am using the column out of the 85 150 on the 50 rod, including column shifter. had to shorten it three or four times to retain all switches and shifter. Not fun but time was cheep, after market parts were not.
