Floor shift hump? Is this necessary?

I came across this on Ebay. Is it really necessary if you want to put in a floor shift? I always had the impression that by '73, the transmission hump would accomodate a toploader without any modification other than cutting the floor. Anyone know about this? Thanks. John B.

That peice is for the automatic floor shifter, not a stick. You don't really need it with the auto either. I bolted my floor shift right to the trans tunnel without the hump.

Thanks Corbin. That clears that up nicely. I was worried for a minute. I thought I had everything I needed for that swap. Apparently I do (except the shifter, that is). John B.

 

floor shifter

john b i just bought a real nice floor shifter from a mustang guy fastfords@cox.net real good guy.check him out.please tell i sent you.my only way of giving him good feedback.i got a grabber rear spoiler from him too.his name is greg wahlrab.

 

How much did he charge for the spoiler?

he got it from a bone yard and it was in good shape.nothing special price wise.going rate from the ones i've seen on ebay.i believe it was $225 to my door.

 

Whoah!!!

I'd pay the $35 or so to make floor shift installation easier
with that hump plate on E-bay before I would pay over $200
for a Grabber spoiler.

floor shifter

littleredtoy what coalition do you find in the floor shifter and a rear spoiler???please do your homework $225 to your door for a rear grabber spoiler IS going rate

 

I have seen the spoilers go on Ebay for as high as $350. $100- $150 used to be the going rate but then again, "used to be" is the operative phrase. They are getting harder to find so the price will go up. I think $225 is not a bad price at all. At one time I had 6 of these.

 

I have 3 rear spoilers.....maybe I should put them on ebay

 

spoilers

craig, i have two. i think i will wait untill the price goes up a little before i sell mine. . that is over a $100 bucks more than i paid for my car and it had a spoiler on it...frank...:bananaman

 

spoiler

ok you two, nobody likes a wise guy

 

sorry, dennis made me do it. lol ...frank...:bananaman :bananaman

 

Bob Tackett...

...My point is before I shell out over $200 for a Grabber
spoiler setup I would pay what was at the time asking
price on bid of around $35 for the floor shift hump rather
than monkey engineer the shifter to a non-floor shifted
car.

And, yes I do my homework quite often.
I know what those spoilers go for.

Oh, and Bob....

..speaking of homework.

Coalition: n. 1) An alliance, esp. a temporary one, of factions, parties or nations. 2) A combination into one body; union

Correlation: n. 1) A casual, complementary, parallel, or reciprocal relationship, esp. a structural, functional, or qualitative correspondence between two comparable entities.


I think you meant to use the second word above.
