3 speed on column to floor shift?

[cool willis]

I have a 73 with a 302, what do I need to use to go from 3 speed on the column to a floor shift?

You'll also need some sort of tunnel cover. The shifter installs on the side of the tunnel. There are several different tunnel covers available for this conversion, from fiberglass to aluminum diamond plate.

Here's a link to the Hurst installation instructions. The Duffs shifter is a Hurst shifter, but they've offset the shifter handle a little, so it doesn't hit your leg. I bought my Bronco with the Hurst shifter already in it, so I heated and bent the shifter handle to put my own offset in it.

I think the Duff's has a shorter throw, too. I have the Duff's in my 66 and it works great. Even the Duff's I had to heat and bend to the right for more knee clearance.

I used the Duffs with the Dplate cover, looks great, shifts way better than the column and pretty easy conversion.
