Fuller Eaton shifters

[catd11rpusher]

I would like to know where I can get shifters that look like real shifters, Like the fuller I use all the time. the freightliner flc has a real looking shifter. Does anybody know?

Mike, almost every Italeri US truck kit has the same shifter as the FLC, here's the one in my Ford LTL 9000.

Also, if you notice, I corrected the shifter to look the way it should, or at least the way every truck I drove was, and heated the shifter slightly so I could twist the shifter head around to the correct position.

Of course, I like this idea for a shifter better!

That's KOOL... Love the rifle idea too. I have driven trucks with the switch both ways, the Volvo I used to drive had a finger tip switch and my '73 9000 had a thumb switch, I honestly prefered the finger tip switch...

Yeah, I got the shotgun idea from a towing company's truck I seen earlier this year and thought it was awesome.

As for the switch, I forgot to add the flip switch on the front of the shifter, even though I was planning on making it look like a 13 or 18 speed's shifter. That's why I painted the thumb switch red!

i use to drive an old R model mack that had an old beer tap handle for a shifter that was pretty cool.
