Not sure if an R/V truck is ok for this discussion, but this is the factory setup (MY6 4 speed OD manual trans):

Re: Anyone running a 4spd and bench seat? pics of shift levers?
I was having problems with my shifter hitting the seat. It's a Saginaw with a Hurst shifter. I removed the shifter arm and welded the arm off an original top loader.
![]() Here you can see how I welded it at a forward angle to miss the seat. ![]()

Re: Anyone running a 4spd and bench seat? pics of shift levers?
At the risk of jacking this thread I wanted to ask on a similar note, if a high hump tunnel is required if you are going from a three speed column to a three speed floor shift(manual)

Re: Anyone running a 4spd and bench seat? pics of shift levers?
Awesome! I always wanted a Hurst shifter. Kinda pricey for the better Mastercraft one, but I hear it is worth it.

Re: Anyone running a 4spd and bench seat? pics of shift levers?
I don't have the pics up yet but I have a M21 with hurst shifter, and a 40/20/40 bench from a late model truck. I welded up a z that moved the lever forward 2-1/2 inches. There is a shifter that hurst makes for tri-5 chevys with a muncie and a bench the part number is 3913780 but they won't sell just the lever you have to buy the entire shifter. I couldn't afford that for now and my shifter works fine so I just made the piece, been banging gears ever since no problem.

I have an M21 behind a 327. The linkage and stick are all Hurst.

Re: Anyone running a 4spd and bench seat? pics of shift levers?
FYI. I know this is an old post.. But, there is no way you can run a bench seat with a Muncie m20 and a hurst comp plus shifter in these trucks. I am pretty sure hust does make a shifter for tri five Chevys that moves the handle forward two inches & that may work. But I read all these posts. Then I put a sbc350 with a Muncie m20 in my truck.. And I had to ditch the bench. It wasn't even close. Maybe if you notch the bench seat frame? Or maybe if you get a wicked small bench seat out of like a bratt. I ended up using abpair of junkyard buckets out of a Saturn..
