3 speed selector transmission floor shifter

Jeez...can’t believe that happened again...my memory is getting foggy but I think this kit gave you 2 options of linkage.  This goes back to 1974-75

I’m having a bad day here trying to be good...I tried to say that I remember maybe...there were two versions of the kit in the original box in that second picture

Any chance of getting a nice clear picture or scan of the paperwork in that DragFast box?

[Rodney_Hamon]

Sure thing. Tomorrow between games I’ll go take a picture of the paperwork. I guess that box of goodies is a rarity now

I thought the instructions were important for the install

And last was the guarantee with the info card at bottom left. I didn’t know Speed Equip was outta Seattle. Was good to open this box up and rediscover stuff.  A decal  !!!  That was a cool discovery as I didn’t know it was in the box.

Thank you sir! Very much appreciated!

This drag fast inline speed shift was the only way that my dad and his transmission buddy could think of working back in 1975 with the overdrive added.  In the box there is another longer shifting handle but it bumped into the bench seat and you would have to smoosh into it in 3rd. The throw was harder and longer as you really needed to focus which gear you were going into. 1st was even harder so the shorter handle and thus throw of the handle was easier and it just misses the seat. Downside is you have to lean forward and lower a tad to shift. That’s why I always thought this truck was theft proof to some degree as who would figure out how to drive it. Ha. I don’t have the stomp starter in it and that would add to the theft protection. This is as far as I got before winter started. It is a balmy 42 degrees in the garage today so I took a picture...and said hello to the truck. It has no name, I just call it Truck.  This has made me think that if someone wants to buy this drag fast box with the alternative linkage assembly I could let it go. Cabs in these 30’s trucks are cramped and this does allow an option for overdrive to be added.

As my picture, Posted December 26, 2019 shows an earlier version (early 60's) of the Drag Fast linkage, different than Rodney's instruction sheet. To shift you would push shifter left and then forward for 1st pull back for 2nd and forward for 3rd. Reverse was left and back.
