column shifted rods, any pics?

So i have decided to go column shift on my roadster. Im adapting the original 39 plymouth column shift to work with the linkage of my c4.

I think this will look rather good, plus it allows me to use the stock bench seat.

Does anyone else have a column shifted rod? Any pics?

 

I drove a column shifted hot rod today, it has a blown flathead and a 40 ford 3 speed. Much fun. No pics sorry.

 

im building my model a coupe with a colum change 3 speed out of a 40 ford but again sorry no pictures at the moment as its un finished

 

Sorry, no pictures of the entire car but here are pictures of the authors of a book. Both apparently like column-shifted rods..

 

actually "both" are sitting in the same car. It's just a photo-op for the book.

 

Ssshhh.. I'm trying to be encouraging.

 

the most fun you can have is drivin a three on the tree,

 

I like the shift on the column and the nos on the horn ring

 

here's a pic of the inside of my '50 Sedan Delivery showing the column shifter. It hooked up to a SP400 behind a Nailhead.

 

Lobucrod, what did you use for linkage. I am looking to connect my factory automatic column shifter up to my T350. factory linkage for the powerglide will not reach.

 

Man I really dont remember exactly what I used. I got a bunch of old linkages laying around, I probably welded two pieces of something together and bent them to clear everything. I do remember that I had to move the shifter up the column a few inches so the linkage would clear the head and exhaust manifold. I also fabricated a shifter lever for the tranny.

 

I found this pic. It shows the position of the shifter on the column.

 

My '49 F1 is running a small block with a Saginaw 4spd using the stock 3spd column shifter.

 

My '46 Olds with retain the OEM hydramatic column, hooked to a 700R. Column shifter detents still need to be modified as does the intermediate linkage from the column to the transmission.

 

I used the Limeworks shift dent/neutral safety switch on my 40 Ford car column and the Lokar system to hook mine up to a 700r4. I have a column shift in two of my hotrods.

 

What are you doing for reverse?

 

I was wondering when someone was going to catch that. Drilled a small hole in the floor just ahead of the seat and ran a rod with a T-handle connected directly to the reverse lever. Gotta remember to have the damn column in neutral before engaging reverse.

 

Got a Ford column hooked to a Dodge trans, anythings possible.

 

My T-bucket has a '57 235 Inline and '57 Powerglide with column shift.

 

bad daddy....I was wondering, thought it was a typo, but I like the idea, may styeal that one for a future project....

 

I have also seen a small reverse lever on the floor. Done like a mini lever with a small knob - it looked cool.

I've seen column shift 3 speed sticks even in channelled 32 roadsters. Must have been fun snaking the shift rods past stuff, but I like the look a lot.
