Re: Photos of your Floor Shifters!

When I put a "His & Hers" Hurst shifter in my`71 Blazer I bought a taller shifter.I know back then Hurst had a couple pages of levers in various configurations.I had it to where I could rest my arm along my leg on the edge of my seat and the handle was right there where my hand was.That`s the one thing I always remember about that rig.I could get in a mud-pit,steer with my left and grab gears with my right.I got another lever for my transfer case.I cut the factory lever to below the floor and welded the Hurst lever.It came up just to the right of the tranny shifter.So,I could kick it in and out of 4wd and grab gears w/o reaching,so I could do 2wd powerslides,then throw it into 4wd and blast straight out of my slide.(why did I every sell that thing?)
