how hard would it be to convert to a floor shift automatic

 

Many years ago, I had an F100, 1974 vintage. The linkage broke, or was otherwise inoperable. I took the truck to a local repair shop and they were able to install a floor shifter from a Ford car. They had to cut a hole in the floor of the truck to accomplish this, but in the end everything worked out fine. I just had to lean over a little to move the shifter.

 

i have a 1989 f-150 that came out of the factory as a 4 speed but someone changed it to a automatic. Well when they did that they had to be able to shift the tranny so they utilized the old 4 speed hole with a floor shifter. It has a few air leaks but it does work good and hasnt given me a bit of probs yet. I hope it all holds out until about this november because then I will have the money to switch it back to a 4 speed. Anyway it works good but why would you do it?

 

dude im doing the same thing its not hard at all

 

i like the look of a floor shifter better than a column shifter

 

but what all do i need to buy to do it other than the shifter, shift **** etc

 

I'm guessing some custom mount and linkage, and a steering column out of a manual truck.

 

Since were on this subject do you think i could put one on my 4r70w tranny
I was looking at http://store.summitracing.com/partde...3+&appfilter=1 and was wondering if i could maybe make it work. Was thinking of useing their ***** with the buttons for the over drive? What do you guys think?

 

im prolly goin to find a wrecked truck like mine only with a stick shift and steal the boot and shifter and steering column

 

have you looked at junkyards?
