Hurst Ram Rod in 2nd Gen F Body

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Al only cut the “hump” (the piece welded over the factory torch cut hole) and banged some areas for more room.

This is a 1969 Cutlass so the “hump” is low profile.

yes,i presently have that shifter ,but i'm using competition plus linkage and mounting bracket,,i like the push down reverse,...i'm thinking i might not have to cut the tunnel just cut for the shifter,but all these floorpans are different... and another dilemma..Finding a boot...without taking out a loan..lol.....Hey Big Gear Head...Do you have any photos????

[big gear head]

I'll have to dig through some boxes and see if I have anything. I haven't had those old pictures out in a while.

If you get time ,that would be great,big gear head and Ryan1969 chevelle ,that 69 cutlass looks like it was originally a Manual Trans ,would that be correct?

Yup 4 Speed W31 :-)

I am installing an original hump but it will bolt in, this way I can bolt in a different hump for performance shifter later.

Hey Ryan 1969 chevelle ,is that the cutlass in the photo you are referring to?and...is that in the barn find section of MCACN?

The Super Shifter that Ryan has in his car is the one that my brother had in his 69 SS396 Camaro back in 1979. His had the Super Shifter III with the extra reverse lockout lever that you had to pull up to allow the shifter to go into reverse. If I recall he did not have to do much of any hacking to get it to fit other than enlarging the actual opening in the hump for the shifter handle to come up through.

It didn't take long to find the picture. I made a cover to go around part of it to cover the original shifter hole. The part that isn't covered was going to be more difficult, so I just left it. The carpet covers it up. I didn't leave this in the car for long. I replaced it with a Super Shifter like the one that Ryan has in his car. I made another plate to fit around it. Last month I bought a Super Shifter III like the one that njsteve has pictured above. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to have to make more modifications to get it to fit in the car and how I'm going to fit a boot over it.
