I think the cavepeople of New York who said never forget forgot on the 13th.

I agree and was going to post the same answer

In Jr. High and High School dayze we used the Ford column shift selector parts to make floor shifts. One of my Father's friends showed me how to make them.

We got '49 to '54 ? Ford steering columns from the junk yard and cut them shorter to use the selector mechanism just in front of the fire wall that moves the pawl between R-1 / 2-3 levers when you pull the shift lever to get in R & 1 or push it forward to shift to 2 & 3, make mounting brackets with angle iron and cut and shorten the rods, heat and bend as necessary. I made them for both Ford and Chevy 3-speeds. I don't know what was the most important tool, a hammer or the oxy-acetylene wrench.

You yoothzs nowadays may find it hard to believe, but there actually was a time before you could by a ready made floor shift from Ansen, Fenton or Hurst, and if you wanted one you had to make it yourself.

[edit] I'll bet none of you knew there were such things as Ansen and Fenton floor shifts ...

My cousin went there (we're all Irish) in the late 90's or early 2000's with a couple buddies, got off the plane and went to the pub, got into a scrap, cops called and got deported all in the same day LOL
