the first time I built my truck I hade the lokar shifter and the original
seat there is a lot of adjustments but it is a fine balance between hitting
the seat and hitting the dash board
as far as effort to push the button it takes next to nothing to push it down
but is very stiff between gears
I used it on a 700r4
I am now using a B&M shifter it does not look stock but I like it a lot
better. if I was going for a stock look I would go with a column shifter ,
it would allow an occasional third person to fit in the cab

Go ahead and take risks....just be sure that everything
will turn out OK.
