I used a Hurst shifter on my '64 way back when that was called a "Mystery Shifter". It was a high quality shifter. The shift shafts that protrude thru the side cover being round had to have notches filed into them for the clamp bolts for the shifter arms. Lots of filing!
I wonder if Hurst still makes it?
On my next one I installed a later three speed from a 72 or so truck & went to the junkyard & got a Muncie shifter from a wrecked Camaro. It was ok but not the quality of the Hurst.
