My car is a May 63 build, so I should have the Muncie.
Wish the shifter was the bolt on style, since swapping the stick would be the easiest and best way to get stock look.

I wonder if the shifter I have can be modified to accept a bold on replacement stick? Probably a dumb idea.

same question i asked back in post #9.... no one has offered an answer yet... maybe someone will...

i would think that it would be a simple parts swap from a Competition Plus shifter

i would like to think that just the part of the linkage internals that hold the stick could be swapped.

I do know Hurst rebuilds shifters. Maybe they would swap out your welded one for a bolt on.
