3 speed floor shifter conversion
I have a 1970 f100 3speed with overdrive, it is currently column shift and I want to make it floor shift. I already have the hurst indy shifter but looking online at summit says that it won't work. Are there any other ideas or input?

I went through 2 of the cheap Mr. Gasket shifters from Autozone. Don't waste your money. Go with the Hurst Mastershift http://www.hurst-shifters.com/product-c ... astershift You'll have to buy the installation kit too. Probably should call to make sure you get the right one. A bit pricey but the cheap one's won't hold up. I gave up and just rebuilt my column shift.

Thanks! I do not really like the column shift but nothing is wrong with it. I have a hurst shifter hopefully I can still use the shift pack with the installation kit. I tried to fit this one and its bracket but the OD linkage is in the way

Just think of the column shifter as an old school paddle shifter Keeps you hands close to the wheel.
