Hi all, I recently purchased a ''53 88 that has the 3 speed manual trans with the column shift. I would really like to convert it to a floor shifter and was wondering if there was any type of kit or a way to make a shifter myself for it. I have had several hydromatics but this is my first 3 speed. Also was curious if a 4 speed manual trans will bolt up. I read another thread on that but it didn't really answer that question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
