Re: $-speed shifter options

Best bet is a used Hurst, if you can find it. I just did this swap recently, and I bought the Hurst for a 57 Chevy with bench seat, because I had read it was the right one for our trucks with a bench. No dice.....still had to majorly modify the handle. It was about 6" to short, and that particular assembly has the handle as a one-piece assembly with the shifter.

BTW----that universal shifter from summit is a POS. Buddy of mine put one on his Muncie, lasted a week. And the handle won't fit at all unless you have buckets.
