Is there any kind of adapter for mounting a bolt in shift handle to a bayonet style shift mechanism? I could drill holes in the mechanism, but dont want to resort to that just yet.
Thats a no-go. My handle is A Hurst 64-65 Bcuda unit. My mechanism is Hurst harvested from a late 70s pickup- handle mounting sleeve is similar to F body.
I’m thinking thats what will happen. I’ll drill two holes so nice, we’ll call it pasta primavera. I sure dont want to anger any 78 D150 purists defacing a #s matching date coded partDrill two holes and call it macaroni.
Its a budget built 65 Bcuda. The operative word being budget.Why don't you get the correct 64-65 Hurst body? Sell the truck body. The 64-65 body's are better anyway and everything will end up where it should be. What car?
Using the original 64/5 handle, with the later towers will lay the handle back so far I would think it would be uncomfortable to drive. The 64/5 A Hurst box has a unique tower, and tilts the handle forward. See pic, it's the one on the Left.Is there any kind of adapter for mounting a bolt in shift handle to a bayonet style shift mechanism?

I’ve mocked it up with the seats installed and the position feels ok for me.Using the original 64/5 handle, with the later towers will lay the handle back so far I would think it would be uncomfortable to drive.

If your ok with it, you could just change this piece in the Hurst box to get you the bolt on tower.I’ve mocked it up with the seats installed and the position feels ok for me.
Thats a more affordaBle option than replacing the whole thing. Probably wait til the trans comes Back out someday.If your ok with it, you could just change this piece in the Hurst box to get you the bolt on tower.
