does anyone know what shifter / linkage I can use on a 57 3 speed ? Someone already had the car converted to floor shift I just dont have the shifter or linkages... i have the bracket for the tailshaft. how can I go about this without ordering 500 worth of hurst shifter / linkages from jegs/ summit... looking for cheaper used stuff that can work/ be made to work.

Try looking on eBay. You can usually get good used Hurst components for a pretty decent price.
-
Do you have the shift arms on the trans, or do you need them also? I just gave away a 3spd shifter and linkage set to the kid that bought my 57 overdrive. I'll try and get down to the shop today and see if I have another in my pile. It'll be a crap shoot if I have the arms, and try to figure out the rods.

thanks sammons , I do have remnants of a floor shifter setup that I found with the other parts car... i believe there are some brackets/ rods I have to go check them out ... going to the shop now ill check back here later , will grab pics of the parts.

Look around the HAMB:

Looks like your really just short the shifter. Made it down to the shop, the 3spd Indy shifter I thought I had ended up being an automatic stick. :( I must have gotten rid of the others, just had three Hust 4spd shifters left. Sorry man!
-
holy shifters ! thanks I really appreciate you checking anyway. So im kinda onto the link Ed posted (thank you btw) I believe something like that will work?
*** the hamb link woulda worked but its sold
-
I'd look around..that was only 5 minutes of searching. I bet if you made a post on the HAMB of what you are looking for and how much you want to spend..might get lucky?
There was a couple on ebay..the one I listed might not work with your linkage..

Man that shifter style looks familiar ...remember seeing them years ago..maybe Olds?
-
All I have is a old Hurst competition shifter body and short handle no shift bars, but it's for a 4 speed.
-
thanks brother Im on the hunt now ... thinking it will be pretty easy to find... guys are ditching the 3 speed left and right.

Found this one on craigslist..you are closer than I am:

Stopped by my buddies car lot and found this one in his classic car parts pile. It's a universal fit with 18" shift lever. The chrome should clean up some, and the rust would need a wire wheel or molasses bath. It's free if you want it..just pick up the shipping.
