Transmission Shift Linkage Kit Installed - Chevy C10

[@garagehack2060]

You're my main go to when it comes to restoring my 66 C10. Thank you for all your videos and work.

[@martinstruebin4903]

Thanks for your Instrution…many Months, the Assembly set was under the workplace….now i did it….just Perfect fit and exact shifting…greatings from Switzerland, Martin….. I subsequently made the following improvements: 1. I drilled a 2mm hole between the two clamping screws and secured it with a split pin….2. I put an additional hexagon screw in the mounting sleeve of the shifting link arm. I drilled a 2mm hole on the screw head in advance so that I could secure the screw connection with wire. In Switzerland we say...better safe than sorry….

Hey man I’ve been watching your videos for going on months now. At first I thought you were just another garage mechanic hack like the rest of us. But the more I watch your videos you can really build some amazing trucks man. Just wanted to stop in and give you props. You really turned these trucks around with out cutting corners. Learned a lot from you 👍

[@jimmiranda7181]

Just completed my conversion using the same kit. It took the play out of the column shift lever. Now it's just like new. Great Video! Keep em coming!

[@christopherryan9864]

This is one of the better videos for the installation process of a Lokar ACA-1800 kit.

[@matthewstrickland1773]

Yes!!! I follow this truck religiously. You are an artist.

[@scottraper9574]

Saw your video and bought one for my 85 and 70 c10. Works perfectly. Way better that stock set up. Thanks for the video.

[@nosuca99]

Man, I sure appreciate these videos! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 62 and these videos are priceless. Thanks!

[@robbiehively4056]

Way better than a damn cable linkage. That was crisp snapped right in place no slop in the shifter. Definitely gonna replce my 69 c-10 linkage for one like this.

[@lauradahlus]

Thanks! Your video helped me to see what I was doing wrong.... I didn't tighten the bolts so the linkage just slipped down the lokar arm...Now it works! THANKS! God Bless! 🙏

[@TheBigart1974]

im glad you are back to making videos! thank you!!!

[@DesertRatFabrication]

Nice job looked like everything went good, nice to see a few videos again

[@Alchemyrecordingstudioatl]

Best videos out there for this stuff. I'm building a 68 and most of your videos cross generations . Thanks for keeping them coming

[@hotrodcharliemanous2445]

Just recently found your videos have a 65 i'am building has most of the same rust issues your videos are a great help thanks

[@533rec]

Lookin good Gib! Way different than my 63’. Im running a 69’ 427 Tri Power/Turbo 400 drive train and using the Corvette shifter (cable), I had to have a lengthened cable built. Fun stuff! Great video

[@johndudley5987]

You do great work. Going to be a sweet truck 👍

[@hawkdsl]

Let's get started! Can't wait to see it on the road. Take us for a drive!

[@markmeldrum6374]

thanks for the video - looks good - I am putting a 6L80 into a 66 chevelle with column shift

[@wileygailey9553]

Looks like that project went well. Good job Gibson.

[@forty6andtwofan]

I've subscribed to you Gibson63. Haven't seen all your videos but I have watched all the blue truck restoration so far. You do good work ole buddy. I have enjoyed all I have seen so far. And I'm a Tennessee boy too. Working on a 65 Ford myself. Keep em coming.

[@billlangdon193]

Nice and clean. Happy Thanksgiving

[@clarancewilliamsjr5059]

Good video! Thanks for the easy to understand descriptions and details. 3thumbsup!

[@Raydawg]

Awesome setup thank you for the video

[@johnnybsbasketcaseprojects3835]

I like that kit. You always do a great job.

[@6xcchamber971]

that should work for a floor shift as well??? Thank you!

[@Mike-xt2ot]

I installed same kit but every time I accelerated hard it would go into neutral because of worn but not shot body bushings. The rigidity of that kit I really like but I got to do more work before it can be used again.

[@MegaCountach]

Nice... one step closer, cheers, Doug

[@Gibson63.]

Thanks

[@bryantspeedcustoms9795]

Thanks for this video brother appreciate it

[@Gibson63.]

Thanks man merry Christmas to you and your family

[@BondeSmith]

As always, Very Nice Work!!!

[@designsinorbit]

First of all, thank you for showing me how to hook this up- mine didn't come with instructions. Question - I will not have any way for my gear indicator thing to line up now, right? I can live with it but wanted to ask...

[@blazegotu]

Thank you!! Your video made it so easy for me to do mine!

[@Jimmythekid007]

Happy Thanksgiving .

[@djsjsisbvbzusjsb254]

Hi man , i have a 1969 c10 manual , do you think that it’s a good idea to swap to An automatic original pieces for the same engine is it complicated? What are the issues, do i have to change the pedals? Please answer thanks 🙌🏻

[@zacharytousley7261]

What do I do if the stud that you bolt the selector onto the transmission breaks?

[@hermyherm365]

Thanks for the vids señor !

[@santirodriguezaffonso]

Are you using a Manual Transmission column? Does it work with an automatic trans?

[@derekderekison3241]

This was helpful thank you!

[@kevinmoore2651]

Have you had any trouble with yours? I had my arm that connects the rod and slides on the transmission deal come off. Taking about a nightmare, I’ve been trying to see what others have done

[@Gibson63.]

@@kevinmoore2651 have not had any problems with mine

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Slick install.

[@woog74]

I know this is an old video, but it looks like you used this kit on a manual shift column? Not having to replace the column when converting to auto would be great.

[@Johnleefromthemist]

Hello Bud Just picked up a 1973 Chevy Long bed C10 need a trans linkage kit were did you purchase ?

[@funes3699]

So I was driving and hit a pot hole the arm that connects to the transmission came off so I was stuck on drive lol any trick so it can stay on for future driving

[@chrisjenkins5749]

Awesome video, thank you

[@kevinyaryan2504]

Enjoy the videos , I like the music in the background , you should mix in some good bluegrass

[@johnlondon8554]

My rod is little longer. Can I cut it? .. put on park measure from there? Thanks

[@bigbawsz2054]

Looks like the arm you from CPP is at like a 10 o clock position maybe 9. Do you know if this is a same for a 69 Chevy? I got a 350. I originally installed it with a 11o clock position and it broke off.

[@ardarvin]

Nice. Does there need to be some sort of reverse lockout? Is it possible to bump / jam into reverse while headed down the road? Building a truck for my girlfriend :)

[@Gibson63.]

That’s something I’m going to work on with this shifters this is just a quick way for me to get going down the road for now

[@ardarvin]

Nice! Keep us posted. Keen to see how you do it.

[@diduck6878]

That sounds like something that would have to be incorporated into your column for under $100 I wouldn't expect it to.

[@AustinHarmon1994]

Looking good man! Hope you used lock tight on those hex lock screws.

[@Gibson63.]

Austin Harmon Yes I did go back with locktite

[@williamlane9140]

Nice video man. Good to see you back. Are you going to make some kind of indicator on the column so your Dad isn't driving around in second gear🤔?

[@Gibson63.]

William Lane Yes no doubt

[@DigIntoGaming]

Is this going from a 3 speed (3 on the tree) manual transmission and steering column to a th350? I have a 1976 c10 that has a 3 on the tree manual and I want to swap it for a th350 and Im looking into a kit so I dont have to swap steering columns.

[@rockscratchers2972]

Great video!!

[@DELAYEDxxxxxxx]

How did you figure out the back up light switch? I am doing the same thing with the 3 on the tree column as well as American auto wire re wire. Let me know ! Did the original back up switch work ?

[@Gibson63.]

Didn’t hooked up the back up lights on this truck, still got to figure that one out myself

[@DELAYEDxxxxxxx]

This might be a solution. I’m still doing the re wire so I’m not there yet. www.speedwaymotors.com/Lokar-BL-1400U-Neutral-Safety-Switch-or-Back-Up-Light-Switch-Kit,43362.html?sku=4911400&CSEGoogle&CSE&CSEGOOGLE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlempjdzH5QIVyh-tBh2E6gabEAQYAyABEgLb3PD_BwE

[@bentley6028]

Same thing for a 73 k25 I assume to right

[@danrasmussen4125]

I used same kit on my 53 gmc 4.3 vortec and a 4l60e only issue is my truck is 4x4 with a 86s10 chassis and the aluminum arm hits the front drive shaft

[@Gibson63.]

dan rasmussen I was surprised how easy this kit went on this truck just one bend and never had to cut the shaft

[@diduck6878]

They have a cable version

[@cfmechanic]

You know its a good vid when comments are enabled. Lol disabled comments means to many negative views.

[@oscarorozco2038]

Is that the old standard 3 in the tree column if it is I'm doing the same thing I dont want to pull out my original column ,I'm going automatic and trashing that standard trans..

[@Gibson63.]

Yes it’s The original standard 3

[@billyhellmaker]

I have this same setup in my 64 and the lokar shakes my shifter at idle - you have that issue at all?

[@Gibson63.]

Never had this problem

[@Sgtzo2017]

Did you put in a neutral start switch?

[@MrHevyshevy]

Pretty nice.

[@Gibson63.]

MrHevyshevy Thanks

[@invisableobserver]

I like how the adjustment is changed to clear a larger brake booster; though I lost faith in CPP products after purchasing & installing their products, they buy from numerous chinese companies then resale for a profit in America. Always ended up throwing away the CPP parts and purchasing a better brand that is made in USA. Also CPP customer service & tech center is worthless. They never get one order correct and never accepted a return.

[@crookedpines]

Is there anything on the xmsn side holding it in place other than the Allen screw? Mine has come off twice now.

[@Gibson63.]

I’d have to check that out ,everything seem to tighten up pretty good on mine, my dad still drives this truck twice a week seems to be doing OK, just make sure yours isn’t in a bind anywhere that could cause a problem

[@crookedpines]

Gibson63 thanks for the reply! I’ll tighten her back down and check for any other issues.

[@diduck6878]

I think that's why he made the dimples for the set screws, try lock tight

[@rottentacocheese]

where can i buy this part? at 2:19 like the whole kit.

[@melrich2124]

Would this work on a new 6L80 in a 72 C10? CPP says they don't have a kit yet as tested.

[@Gibson63.]

Don’t know for sure on that one

[@codypeterson7166]

mel rich that’s what the other nut in the kit is for

[@Roadglide911]

Have any trouble with the headers?

[@dickeymoore7365]

Oil did you get this kit and how much did it cost?

[@wesleywelker440]

I know this video was from a while ago but what was the reason of putting this on?

[@codypeterson7166]

Wesley Welker looks like he went from a 3 on the tree to an auto and didn’t want to buy a whole new column. Exactly what I want to do.

[@Romanrootergarage]

Thanks Brotha 💪
