    Picked up a toploader

    I got a great deal on a 64 Toploader and shifter for my Galaxie today.  It's missing the shifter tabs on the transmission and shift handle, but otherwise complete. Next steps are going to be a rebuild, find the correct shift handle for a 63 4spd with bench seat (correct one on the bay right now, but $450.00), buy the shifter hump, clutch release lever, clutch and pressure plate set.  Anybody know which clutch lever the 63's with the factory shorty cast iron headers took?

    According to the parts manual, the 63/64 406 and 427 cars used the same clutch release lever, Ford part# C3AZ-7521-D for cars built after 11/21/1962.

    couldn't you just use a Mustang toploader shifter then lengthen the linkage to fit your application???

    I've got the shifter, it's the clutch release lever I'm missing.  I think I might have one and if nothing else, I know my dad has one out of a 68 428CJ that I will grab.
