I know Speedway sells a kit just wondering if somebody used that or how they did it. Thanks Steve. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 | If I had one when I built my '49 with a TH400, it would have saved me a bunch of time. I modified the 3 on the tree shifter and box and custom made an indicator dial with little brass letters in the same font as the speaker grille letters on a polished stainless steel backing.

It would be neat to see a picture of that. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,751 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,751 | The linkage could probably be adapted to the TH 400 shift quadrant, but the gear positions would be all wrong. The Dual Range didn't have a Park position, and Reverse was all the way to the right on the indicator.
