I have had a swap meet '82 "F" body Super T-10 in my TA forever. Why I grabbed it was the 3:42 first gear. It worked well but the '82 uses a torque arm bolted to where the shifter usually goes. The shifter mounts to the passenger side and reaches over the trans to hold the shifter- sloppily. I had gotten the miserable stock ITM shifter and goofy mount with it so I made a brace for it and it worked somewhat better. Now that I scrapped the TA I have a Pontiac 400 and this ST-10 with nothing to do so I may put them in my Bonnewagon. The problem is I can't stand the sloppy stock shifter but no one makes anything else that fits. Then I remembered what I had planned to do when I bought this thing. I figured that a Hurst universal mount would go right on. I scrounged around my transmission junk and found one. It bolted right on no problem. I mounted a Hurst shifter and it looked good. I needed ST-10 shifter rods and I scored a set on Epay. Mounted those- but- problems. The universal mount located the shifter a wee bit too low. See pics. OK, why not use a stock mount- oh right- no bolt holes. So why not bolt the stock mount to the universal mount? Could that work? I used the one bolt hole that matched up and secured the stock mount to the universal mount with a grade 8 bolt. Then I attached the shifter and rods to see if they fit. YES! But I had to cut off a bit of the stock mount to clear the "C" clamp at the tail. That fit better. I outlined the stock mount plate with a marker and took both mounts down to the basement work table. I figured out where I could safely drill for an additional mounting bolt and I tapped that hole on the universal mount for a 3/8-16 grade 8 bolt. With both bolts tightened and locking nuts behind them, the mounts felt like they were one. That's better than welding them- just in case this fizzles out. So now the '77 TA Hurst shifter is mounted on the '82 ST-10 as it would normally be on a '77. It clears the speedometer cable and the back-up light switch. It shifts nicely. Now that I know I can use it, I ordered a set of synchronizers and a gasket/seal kit for a quicky overhaul and cleanup. Pics show both shifters and how similar yet different they are. Goofy stock- awesome Hurst. Then the mounts, and how I adapted them to work together. Finally, the complete working set-up. NOW it is worth putting in my Bonnewagon. Stay tuned.
