Looking for a Hurst or other brand floor shift conversion for the column shift transmission in my '46 Tudor. Something '50s vintage would be great, all will be considered. Thanks in advance.

Ken - Don't know if there are any in production but I kinda' doubt it. Hurst still makes them for 4 speed transmissions. Hoping someone has an old one stashed and is willing to part with it. The last one of these I installed was in a '55 Ford we converted from automatic to manual circa '62-'63 Thanks for the note. Henry
 
No problem,your post got me curious about them. ken ct. Brought back good memories with the 55 and was a rag top. All black with skirts real sharp,wish i kept it.
 
Hi Henry I have a hurst floor shift conversion for a 49-53 ford i bought it for my 40 for i have a 50 mercury trans in it and it sits in the same location as the 40 did i used the 40 linkages on the merc trans cant rember now why i did not use (senior moment) Thanks
 
Henry,
I am also a hoosier. I am in the process of updating my drive line in my 46 ford business coupe. It has a late 50's/early 60's Hurst 3spd shifter on the original 3 speed trans. It works great and is very precise. I am unsure on a price right now though as it is still in the car. If you are interested please PM me.
thanks

Hi Henry I have a hurst shifter in the box for 49-78 fords that will work i bought for my 40 ford with a 50 merc transmission and did not use it . The part # is 501-0002 the price is $125.00. Thanks
 
Hi Flint - I've located a Hurst unit which is currently working on a '46 transmission and, therefore, will work with mine.

Many thanks for the info and the offer. I guess my needs are met with a known-to-work unit. At least until I find the current solution does not work, I will decline your kind offer. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to do business in the future.

Good luck with all your projects.

Best regards,
Henry
