there is a three speed overdrive unit that has a 6 bolt top plate on it---you can put a top from a jeep trans on it and have a floor shift with the stick coming thru the floor in the correct place

if you have the side plate trans then a Hurst is best bet and I have also done that column mod to floor unit---worked very good until I got a real 4 speed floor shift in 62

Outstanding combination, Sickee32; absolute nostalgia. A Hurst three speed shifter is a good thing, too; plenty robust and durable. And, what a blast from the past; I had all the stuff to make that floor shift conversion in the trunk of my car ('51 2 door) when I went into the Navy in '59. My Dad sold the car sometime during the ensuing four years, and whatever was in it went with it.
