T-86 shifter question

Jeff DeWitt 22 February 2005 00:22:16
 This one ought to be a little different!

I understand that many early Jeeps had T-86 transmissions with floor
shifts. My Studebaker Champ pickup also has a T-86 but it's a column
shift. I'd love to convert this truck to a floor shift (and would
really like to set up something like the old Twin Stick system AMC used).

Anyone have one of these shifters or a junk transmission that I could
scavenge for the parts, or know where one of these things might be
located? I see someone has exactly what I'm looking for on ebay, except
it's for a T-90.

Thanks!

 Twin stick? That's to the transfer gears. Just in case you were
thinking you could just add the shift tower to the top of your
transmission, without removing it's forks. A broken T-86 is at
tascherATattDOTcom here on the west coast. But, I would think the Study
would worth far more in it's classic form.

 For those that don't remember what a Studdy looks like:

 Hi Jeff,
It was a surprise to me. I was putting it in a '54 Willys truck for
a friend, just like ever other conversion I had done thinking it was a
Chevy "283 when I ran into the starter problem, and found out my friend
had bought it from a trade school using it for training. Ran the numbers
that were in the same place as Chevy, right front block, and came up
with Studibaker.
