Re: Hurst floor shiftre

Is it a granny low 4 speed?
If so, then he's stuck with the shifter that's there. Hurst doesn't have one for that type tranny.
Now, if it's an original 3 ott truck then maybe you'll have room for the brackets.
Pics help of what he's got!

Re: Hurst floor shiftre

Should be!
Is it a high hump truck?
You won't know until you have a close look.
I'd do it from the bottom. Pulling the hump out is a pain in the butt!

Is he thinking he'll get better shifting or faster shifting?
It'll be better because it's a hurst but it won't be faster.

Re: Hurst floor shiftre

The one he has can likely be simply fixed.
I've had several over the years.
Here's the cure in this link to another thread on here.
