Got a W56B I'm going to rebuild and swap in for my L45 - it didn't come with the shift lever or clutch fork. Anyone have parts they'd sell me or know where I can get them?  The clutch fork is easy on eBay, it's the shift lever which is harder to find than I expected.
I already called Marlin and they don't have any.

I also see tons of W55/W58 short shifters for sale, do those interchange with the early w56s?

Core shifters should have 1. Not factory looking but functional

Ah I was actually just typing that as you left your comment - I think that's what I'm going to do.

If your dead set on having a stock one, I'm sure I can find one locally at the salvage yard

I appreciate the offer! I was already going to grab an LCE short shifter, so this core shifters product kills two birds with one stone. Not sure why I didn't find it on my first rounding of web searching.

Old toyota parts at the salvage yard, that's a good one  :greengrin:
Around here there's three scalper businesses (who's names will not tarnish my ears) that have aggressively bought up all of the pickups/4runners for 20 years and nothing good ever reaches the general u-pulls. I paid them $70 for a power steering pulley once, never again...
