Hello, I am wondering what I need to do and how to change from column shift to floor shifter in a 1973 duster with a 451.
I want to go after marketDid you plan on using a factory or after market shifter? If factory, your transmission needs to have the pivot mounting tab on the tail housing. 65'
Ok, would I be able to use the bench bucket seats that came with the car?After market shifters come with mounting bracket, cable, and installation instructions. There pretty straightforward to install! Just get one for your transmission and have at it. The hardest part is mounting the shifter to the floor pan. You may also want to drop the transmission cross member so you have room to install the shift bracket and cable to the transmission shift lever. 65'
It’s like a bench seat but with the height of a bucket seat with the arm rest in the middle and I am wondering if I have to get new seats or if I can keep themDepends on what shifter you buy and how you mount it. Most floor shift factory cars had buckets. 65'
