It's the T176 transmission shifter.

T176 fits 4-speed toploaders - he says he's after a 3-speed...

 

Jeep top on Ford tranny. St. Rodder 8/1992 page 190. This is in my rod index. If you need I will look up the article.

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I think he wants to put the shifter on a 3 speed toploader style transmission. Do they use the same top cover plate?

 

Thanks guys, yes its a 3 speed, I thought it was a t 150, jeep trans, but im not sure

 

Yes, a similar conversion is available for the 3-speeds, but I'm ignorant on which trans tops fit the Ford 3-speed toploader. It is virtually an identical swap to the T176/4-speed swap: minor grinding for the shift levers, plug the side levers, away you go...

Street Rodder article is 4-speed - T176/Toploader.

 

It is the T150/150T used by Jeep/AMC
76-79 Jeeps.

The Jeep Top for the 4 Sp are T176/177/178
80-87 CJ's and Trucks.

 

I have that issue on the top of my pile, looked at it yesterday

 

Levi Classic had the conversion done to a Ford 3 spd by a guy in Detroit. I bought the trans and hemi conversion from him awhile back. He is going to deliver it to me sometime next week.
Maybe contacting him will get you some information.

I saw that David Kee had the parts for the conversion. www.davidkeetoploaders.com Look for Street Rod Shifter. Expensive

 

A friend of mine is running one in chevy powered 29 roadster . 3 speed T150. he wanted to keep his chrome top 39 cover and shifter. machined up an adapter plate , and reworked the forks. works great. found this out from street rodder mag early 70s. 32 only in ohio makes an adapter top loader to early ford with a cross shaft. the jeep top cover is easer yet real close to the 39. A bolt on. real strong full syncro low . and still LOW BUCK.
