Default Auto floor shifters: C10/TH350/Bench

I'm looking for some pics or see what floor shifters everyone is using in thier trucks? Mainly looking for a 73-87 with a full bench.

Truck will have a have a th350 most likely with a manual valve body. I had a b&m hammer rachet shifter in my old mustang with a c4/mvb, but didn't really care much for it.


Thanks

I had a B&M Megashifter (for trucks, had a taller base) in my old 72 pickup. It was nice once I went through it and tightened eveything up, it was pretty sloppy out of the box. I also had good luck with the Lokar Nostalgia shifter in another old truck, it was long as hell, but was easy to use.

Yea, thats what I hated about the b&m hammer... just felt loose and kinda cheap.

This truck is going to be more of a restomod/cruiser so I am looking for something that style.

In my 70 shortbed I had a 96 take out bench seat. Then I made a 4" raised base to support the B&M Pro-Stick. Worked fine and I never had a space issue. Only thing I didn't like was I would have to slightly lean towards the shifter, but I got use to it quick.
