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!

[28chevyguy]

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.

[28chevyguy]

thanks brother Im on the hunt now ...  thinking it will be pretty easy to find... guys are ditching the 3 speed left and right.
