Muncie 4-speed with a bench seat? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is it possible to put a muncie in my 68 with my bench seat? Special shifter that curves around perhaps? Know where to get one? Thanks Guys!!

I would go for the 57 chev (car) linkage that Shadetree suggested. It comes up under the front edge of the seat, & curves foward & up /around the seat. I prefer hurst linkage myself, & would rather get it at a swap meet(much cheaper that way), but Mr gasket owns Hurst as well as a bunch of other well known names. that may be a place to start.......I dont think they deal direct, but will give you part numbers & retail sales stores. Good luck........longhorn

hurst sells competition plus shifters for our trucks, they have a tall curved handle to clear the seat. Dev.

Don't happen to know the part number of the Hurst shifter do you?

I think I'm going to order it today. $281.85 total.

Anyone know where to find it cheaper?

i have a muncie four speed with a hurst shifter in mine, it just barely clears the seat tho.

the seat in my truck was curved in to accomodate a 4 speed although it didn't come this way it looks good

I placed my order with Summit Racing & they just called me back to confirm my order -- on a Sunday night! It's in stock & shipping in the morning.

Just thought I'd pass along their good service.
