I have looked at the possibility of puttng an old Hurst shifter in my '54. After removing the floorpan and having clear access to almost everything, I found that there is a structural element that interferes with a simple installation. This is not to say that it cant be done... it just didn't seem to be worth the struggle. best. himmelberg
