If you really want a Hurst shifter for your T-56, yes, it's available. I think you'll like this one with the signature Hurst chrome stick and white shifter ball. Hurst Shifter at CJ Pony Parts
Thanks guys, the chrome shaft with hurst up the side and a white ball is a must. Will have to get one prefer after I pick up my new to me cobra on Tuesday!
I'm pretty sure the Husrt uses the factory boot too. The MGW simply produces the best feeling shifts out there and is adjustable and tunable with their new modular handle system.
The MGW is the king of shifters IMO. But there are those who just prefer other brands. Everyone has their personal preference. There are also those who love the Hurst chrome shaft and ball combo. I wouldn't personally choose a shifter for the look of the shaft (since much of the shaft is covered by the boot anyway, but I know there are those who do just that.
I had both started with the MGW got the Hurst as a gift both with bobs gaskets which i highley recommend and i gave it a month went back to MGW and never looked backed shifting feeling is different.
