I am using one on my truck with a '55 GMC 3 speed.

Most of them say 55 and up. On the Hurst site none of them says it will fit 49 chevy. By Evil bay do you mean e-bay? any other ideas?
Thanks

Bennie Just a thought Bennie,the column shifter that came on the truck is probably going to perform as well or better than an aftermarket floor shifter. As long as it is adjusted properly and the internal parts are up to snuff, that is, | | |
