Anyone use this 3 speed floor shifter?? PIC inside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 11-19-2002, 12:17 PM

Fouond this in the Jegs catalogue and also on Summit Racings site. Anyone here using this shifter or have you heard anything good/bad about them? It's made by Hurst and is made especially for 69 and up chevy trucks and 63 and up Ford models.

yellowgmc · 11-19-2002, 12:25 PM

i bought one, but haven't installed it yet. is that the hurst indy? looks very cool. i just need to get the tranny fixed first. i think it jammed. i'll let you know when i get it in. won't be til spring tho.

barn9 · 11-19-2002, 12:47 PM

Had one on another truck I used to have, and it was great IMO. Never had a problem with it, and it was a major improvement over the column shifter. Makes the truck go faster too, hehe!!

dubie · 11-19-2002, 12:50 PM

Hey yellow, where did you buy yours? Is there a Canadian distributor that I could get one of these from? It's listed at Summit for $79.95, but after the exchange and shipping, it will be around $150 Canadian. I have a floor shift kit here, but it's made by Sparkomatic so you can image how eager I am to install that one

Thanks for the info guys

And Barn9, I could use the extra boost in speed

If only boly on performance was that easy eh

yellowgmc · 11-19-2002, 12:53 PM

i ordered mine from jegs. can't remember exactly how much it cost tho. it was around 75-79. wife threw out my cataloge. i can't wait to get it in. that big chrome stick poking out of the floor will look soooooo cool. and chrome always makes you go faster!! i also ordered a big chrome skull shift knob to be goofy! i don't know about a canadian disttributor tho. might check a big canadian tire. they have a cataologe you can buy that has all sorts of stuff in it. it's like 400 pages!! they can order in all that stuff, for a fee... i always ordered from the us. easier.

meathead95 · 11-19-2002, 01:17 PM

jay-dawg · 11-19-2002, 01:21 PM

I got that one in the truck. Dad had someone install it when he made it a floor shifter. The throws are really short. It takes some time to get used to finding the gears too.

yellowgmc · 11-19-2002, 01:22 PM

that's mine exactly.

dubie · 11-19-2002, 01:26 PM

WOO HOO!!! THanks a bunch meathead!!!! I just checked it out and sent him a PM.

**Palf70Step** · 11-19-2002, 02:12 PM

That's (Hurst Indy) what I have in my truck. Like Barn9 stated, I Love it. Much better than the tree. Even with a bench seat. I will say that my wife and I are tall, so the seat is all the way back no matter who is driving. If the bench seat had to come all the way forward, I could see where this shift (any aftermarket) would have a clearance issue with the mounting brackets included in the kit.

But if you'r all above 5'9", then go for it. I got mine through Summit.

barn9 · 11-19-2002, 02:31 PM

Hey dubie, don't you just love it when a plan comes together? LOL! Hope you get it man! Gotta love this board!

dubie · 11-19-2002, 02:57 PM

It's a great feeling bud!!! Slammed67's shifter is spoken for already, but I have a line on another one already

. Sound slike this is the shifter to go with

Palf: I am 6' 1" and the wifey is 5' 7" so the seat will always be all the way back.

I just wish we had a summit dealer in Canada.

No3Fan4Ever · 11-19-2002, 03:38 PM

That's a good shifter; I put one in a 74 F*rd F100 that I had years ago after the column shifter came off in my hand when i hit 2nd gear; I hate it when that happens............

**Palf70Step** · 11-19-2002, 05:31 PM

Hey dubie
They sell the same shifter at our local AutoZones and Advanced Auto Stores. I imagine some of the others probably do also. I think NAPA may carry it also.

slam33 · 11-19-2002, 06:55 PM

The tabs ( the short L with the slots ) on these 2 brackets break if you don't get them mounted right. Tighten them to the trans first then adjust the shifter assembly. If they break the shifter throw will go from a few inches to a couple of feet.

Stano · 11-19-2002, 09:25 PM

Had one of them in my 67 back in highschool, man that thing saw some abuse!LOL Never had a problem with it though. Sliding into second was fun and givin er he77.

**tkeduk8r** · 11-19-2002, 11:22 PM
