Hurst Lightning Rods Shifter 3 Speed Auto on 2040-parts.com
Cedar Hill, Missouri, US
This is a used set of lightning rod shifters. The chrome has pits and some scratches. The two shifter pins have been repaired on the middle and right side. It appears someone did not know how to use these and forced it.
It is repaired and functions properly. The part that moves the cable must be lined up to the main rod and adjusted so the button can be depressed and move the side linkage arm. If not it won't work properly.It is important to set them up to the transmission so the shift smoothly. These are for a 3 speed auto not the 4 speed auto. Left rod is for PRND middle moves D-2 and the right is 2-1.
What is in the pics are what I have. The cable u can use is available it is just a common gm auto cable about 29" long. they are about $50.00 at rock auto.
There is no floor mount bracket it is a flat bottom. You can fab your own for application. The plate is for camaro/firbird plate but someone has cut out the center.
I purchased 2 of these and have kept the best one and selling this one.
These are getting harder to find and were very cool for there time.

Driven: Ford Flex
Fri, 26 Dec 2008When Ford unveiled the Fairlane concept in 2005, the company attempted to "rewrite the people mover story", according to Group Vice President of Design and Chief Creative Officer, J Mays. The Minivan, once the symbol of suburban America, had fallen out of favor - its dowdy, "soccer mom" image eschewed in exchange for upscale, aggressive SUVs. According to Mays, the idea with the Fairlane was to "move people emotionally as well as physically", something few minivans had done before.
