Good afternoon all ! I just relocated my column shifter from the steering column of my 55 Ford Fairlane to the floor. I would like to find a steering wheel dash bezel that doesn't have the opening for the shifter tube. Did Ford produce a floor shift on this model, so I can find such a bezel or...

Thanks for the help, I'm finding out that the older kits didn't have a template. Miker98038 I think your right, I'm going with the little steps many cuts idea. Thanks to all !!

Ok I have taken my column shifter off my 55 Ford ( 3 speed manual ) and purchased an old school NOS Mr. Gasket Daytona floor shifter, with no instructions. I can figure out install but want to be careful when cutting whole in floor with new carpet. I was wondering if anyone has instructions for...

Thanks you !

I have a 55 ford Fairlane and need to remove the column shifter and put in a floor shift. What is the simplest and easiest way to remove the shifter tube from the column ? T:cool:he car and interior are in finish paint. If I don't remove shifter tube what suggestions do you have ? thanks

Thanks for the help, I did get the handle removed, was a solid pin ( wont ever attempt that again). I found a handle that is attached to the shaft on e-bay, sent for that and will redo the handle and remove my old shaft and put in the new one. I checked my manual it doesn't show how to remove...

I would like to thank everyone for the input, I just wanted info on the E-break t handle, but no one had that info, for further info I have a 1955 Ford shop manual, but not sure how that relates to building a custom, I'm also not a rocket scientists, just trying to get input from fellow car...
