3 in the tree to floor shifter?
Finally got a shortbox, '68 c-10. Saginaw 3-speed still in it and the previous owner has attached an indy shifter thru the floor but it doesn't seem to engage reverse and only moves in a strait line back and forth. Does anyone know of an aftermarket shift kit that would give me some kind of an "H" pattern on the floor? I know I should probably get a 4-speed out of a camaro or something but $$$

Re: 3 in the tree to floor shifter?
Skip the kit you can get at OR's....it's junk. We put one in Bill's son's truck and it was an nightmare of an installation. Get a very good aftermarket shifter. You should be able to find a few out there on the web....google!

Re: 3 in the tree to floor shifter?
I believe Hurst makes a shifter called the Hurst Indy 3spd truck shifter that may be what you want. Can you snap a pic of the linkages you have now it sounds like they may just be worn out or out of adjustment.

Re: 3 in the tree to floor shifter?
I asked this same questiona few weeks ago... if you want the "best" shifter purchase the MasterShifter from Hurst for the conversion.... It si a little spendy however.. about 300 bucks for the shifter and install kit...

 It'll be more money but worth it in the long run plus installs perfectly.

Re: 3 in the tree to floor shifter?
Are you sure it has all the linkage parts present and properly adjusted?

Re: 3 in the tree to floor shifter?
Sounds to me like it could be hung up. Crawl under ther truck and pull the 2 linkages to get it unstuck. If its doing this its either worn out or out of adjustment.
