FMX shifter

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-Jul-01 AT 09:16 PM (EST)[/font][p]Hi folks, I'm new to the site and have lots of questions and maybe a few answers.
I'm building a '58 F-100 street rod with/for my son, it will be his first personal ride. The trucks got a 351M and FMX auto from a '76 mustang (supposedly). My question concerns the FMX trans, the previous owner used a universal floor shifter with out neutral safety and park detent, dangerous. I salvaged a B&M mega shifter and called B&M for advice on using it, they said it will not work. I know Lokar sells an FMX shifter for about $200. Their must be another way, less expensive, to make this work. Any one have any ideas?

Thanks!

HI Steve, I am not sure a donor truck will help you unless it will be for the column shifter. I don't know if you really want a factory shifter or a floor shifter. Either way could run some $$. Below are suppliers I have dealt with, and they may have stock column shifter parts if that is what you need.

FMX shifter

i put one in a 54 f100 using a mustang shifter . it was a 69 351 with fmx box. the mustang was a 90 i think. it had a 3 speed auto box in it. with a little fabricating, it worked well until i sold it.
i paid 10 bucks for it.
