day two shifters

[mr.4speed]

i have a hurst catalog from 74 and it shows the round stick.
plus it seems that one out of every twenty or so on ebay has
the flat stick so leeds me to believe less available means earlier.

I'm just guessing here, but I would think the round stick was probably more cost effective, since it was welded onto the plate.

If anything, I thought the flat reverse lever was maybe slightly more common, but I haven't actually been counting...

Check out the April 1971 Hot Rod for the scoop on the Mr. Gasket race shifter. There was a mad rush between the two companies to be the first to market a straight line shifter.

My old 1964 F85 drag car ran a Vertigate. Awesome shifter.

Look at the linkage rods on this thing!! The builder was a machinist...can you tell?

I think the most exciting shifter was a good ol Muncie.lol.If you could power one of those and not miss you were a better driver than most.

I had one lock up at the interchange on my way to Maple Grove and stuck in

between gears. As soon as I got her home, the Hurst went back in!
