This one was made by  Ron Allworth    who made this one for a buddy's 1933 Plymouth that he was putting a 270  hemi in it 

For this one of course it would not work on an r10g1 overdrive, although that is not to say they couldn't make one for that purpose.

I just thought I would post it up as while a tad over engineered I thought it was very cool.

Another floor shift concept, that again, I need to do some digging and see where I got the concept.

This one was a Fenton "universal" floor shift conversion kit, that then someone adapted it for their purposes which was in a early 50s van, similar to this one which likely will be the 1st time this is seen in public!  lol

I believe this is similar to what my Dad did in his pickup although since I never say it together on a transmission that is pure speculation.

If you have other floor shifter actually installed on Mopar 3 speed transmission that was previously a column shift, either already installed and happen to have pictures, or are working on one, or even have  ideas, feel free to post away !

These designs are way over designed and none for an R 10. I have fabricated one for my B3B, with R10 overdrive. It will be on display at Tims BBQ. Parts are at a machine shop now getting "professionalized. 

This is a floor shifter George Asche made for me about 5 years ago. Up and down, forward and back. Works great! I use a piano pedal spring attached to the floor to automatically lift the shifter. I only have to push down for reverse and 1st.

Howdy. Did you ever get your floor shift finished ?

Yes, but not tested. Will test this fall. We are still in Maine, fly home the 28th.  Recontact me early  November.

paul.

Once it works for me, I will not likely make it available. I do not think I can patent it. It is quite uncomplicated, so easy to reproduce. I may be somewhat selfish, but I’m nottoointerested in giving away  what I spent weeks figuring it out.  Just saying, Will know more once I have in use on the road.

I have two floor shifters that I bought some time ago they are new in the box, one is an Ansen and the other a Drag Fast. The Drag Fast works in a strait line, push down and forward for first, then strait back for second and then strait ahead for third. My Dad used one on a 48 coup that he raced on the street in Seattle in the early 60's

Any chance you want to sell either one of them, I have another guy looking for one for me right now, I have a 1948 Dodge with the 3-speed manual fluid Drive coupler

hey there, Let me think about it, if I hang onto one them it will be the drag fast model. I bought them both from a guy that was advertising in the Inliner magazine so you may want to check there as well

If you don't want to sell them, could you please tell me what the model numbers are on them, so I have a better chance of searching for one,  I have another gentleman that says he has a few in a box somewhere in his garage , but I haven't heard back from him yet, I also tried to look up that inliner magazine but couldn't find it, thanks

If I recall. There was an Ansen, a Mr Gasket and Fox Craft that were available from independent retailers, via catalog and from Western Auto. Maybe Goodyear and

Firestone stores.

Yes there was several different companies that made them, they're very hard to find though especially if you look on eBay, no matter what you type in they come up with 10,000 different results, you can spend all day looking through all the ones they show you, that's why I would like to try and get part numbers from someone that has one

Spark o matic also.  One of them had a reversed pattern where 1st was away and up, 2nd was back and toward you and high was toward you and forward.

hello there, sorry for the delay I have been in the shop working on the 4dr. I drug out my two shifters and found that one of them the "Drag Fast" is for a Ford 3spd OD so that won't help you, but the Ansen is for Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Kit # 9008. I bought this kit in 1998 from Darrell Slifka from State Center, IA. I haven't checked to see if Darrell was ever or is a member of this forum, so that may be a lead for you.

I found Inliner International on line, you may want to see what you can find there.

I will hang on to the Ansen as the other one I have is not for a Mopar but instead a Ford/Merc 3spd OD. I would like to find a coup and set it up like my Dad had his in the early 60's and that will require the Ansen. 

So, has anyone released a floor shift conversion? 

I'd like to purchase ASAP. 1953 Dodge Meadowbrook standard 3 speed no overdrive.

Who made this kit? Is it available for purchase!?  Thank you!

The person who made that, made it as a 1 off and  didnt express any interest in making more. The one at the top of the thread was made by

pflaming - P15-D24.com and Pilot-house.com

and I cant tell you if he would have interest in helping you make the floor shift for what is normally a column shift tranny.

You can  also swap your tranny out, put in an Aluminum A833 4 speed which is floor shift and gives you overdrive .  Same blog just a different topic.

I just bought an r10 od from George Asche with his simple floor shifter.  Anyone still developing this concept?
