Shifter ?

Can anyone tell me what this shifter is for. I think it is out of a '67-72 but I don't know what. Thanks.

Re: Shifter ?

It looks like a floor shift conversion for a 3 speed.

There was one that looked alsmot like that stuck in a '67 I drug home.
there are only 2 rods, and i think a Muncie/Saginaw 4 speed would have 3? I dunno.

I could be wrong..but, thats my guess.

Thanks guys. The thing that puzzles me is, I've never seen a three speed setup with that big of a hole in the shifter arm. (where it bolts to the tranny shaft) They should both be the size of the small one....

Re: Shifter ?

^ I agree,it looks like an aftermarket shifter for a 3 speed.Maybe a "Fenton" or other Hurst Knockoff.

Re: Shifter ?

those arms look a little short to me for a truck 3 speed. Maybe it's just the picture but i was under mine yesterday, and i could swear they looked longer.

Re: Shifter ?

the length of the shift rods could be attributed to it being a '67 or older non-synchroed Muncie.

Those suckers are stubby.

once again..just another thought.

You know Sam, I think I have one of those old short three speeds out in the barn. I will have to go dig it out and test your theory... Thanks.

Well, that didn't pan out because the mounting holes in the integral mounting bracket are way off, but looking closer at he shifter I found a Patent number. I typed the Patent number into Google and this came up.

Title:
Straight-line shifting assembly
Document Type and Number:
United States Patent 3902378

Abstract:
A shifting assembly in which a shifting stick is moved in a straight line to control gear range and differential operation of a transfer case in a four wheel drive vehicle. A pair of lever arms operable by a single shifting stick actuate the transfer case mechanisms. A gear range lever arm shifts the transfer case between high, neutral, and low gear positions while a differential lever arm is shiftable from a first position to a second to lock the differential mechanisms. Special cam slots in the lever arms are engageable with a pin on a selector arm movable by the shifting stick. A link, operable by the pin with movement of the shifting stick, pivots to effect movement of the differential lever arm while simultaneously disengaging from the range lever arm.

Humm... Now if I can figure out what vehicle it fits. It may not even be GM but it came with some 67-72 Chevy stuff I got.
