Let's see your shifters!

Post up a pic of your shifters! We just recently installed a Hurst Indy shifter in my truck. We converted it from a 3-speed on the column to the floor. I wanna see any and all shifters on the floor, auto or manual. Here's pics on my Hurst shifter:

It isn't in yet, but here's what will be going in.

I used the same shifter kit as you, 73FordF100, but I was lucky enough to find some old shifters at the junkyard (4 for $25, including a '60s model Hurst 4 speed). One of them was a '70s Mr. Gasket 4 speed from a truck. I took the stick out of that, modified it slightly, and bolted it up to my Hurst kit. It has a large coarse thread, so I was able to use a broom handle shifter from an '88 White/GMC cabover. I gained about 4 inches of height over the standard chrome stick.





I know, it looks like it should have a big orange switch for the 2 speed rear end taped to it somewhere...but I think it is much more comfortable than the shorter chrome stick and the black shift ball.

This isn't my truck - but I will be running a art carr gate shifter like this on my c6 in the '74 supercab.

Plus a custom console - but pulled off slightly cleaner and done a little more to my tastes

That thing looks pretty clean from the inside.

One would think that a guy with a truck this clean would have removed the lever and changed the plastic on the column so it would no longer have the two shoft levers.
Surely with all of the gauges and switches he could have put the OD buttom somewhere else.
Just being critical today. Tired and its been a long day already.

And as you well know - most people are too lazy to take that final step and clean something up like that...

Tired huh? I guess if some knucklehead wouldn't have been hanging out in the garage flapping his jaw until late hours last night you could have gotten some sleep
