Technical 1952 chevy pickup

We have a 1955 235 in our 52 pickup have a 4 speed Saginaw . We are keeping the bench seat What shifter unit kit can we use? The kit from patricks is no longer available since they closed. Hurst doesn't make a kit for bench seat.

 

Hurst does but you may have to modify .

 

What he said. The shifter will land almost under the seat. You have to run a bent handle like above.

 

I always thought using shifters with big bends in the handle to clear a seat were dumb looking. Is there anyway that you could remount the shifter and reposition the levers to make the shifter come out of the floor in a more natural position? Then you can use any type of shift handle you want.....including an original style handle if desired.

 

thanks for the info .. We were hoping that someone took over Patrick's so we could just order their kit.
