Can anyone help with photos, etc so I don't have to "re-invent the wheel"?

Ivanz-yes but it is all custom work. A shifter with a push button in the middle. Using the button to shift into low-reverse gate-custom all the way,but possible
Thanks Clutch Guy. -

Ivan, it will be easier to show you what needs to take place. It is a very simple shifter. The hardest part is making the bracket to mount on the trans.

I haven't tried this, and my entire comment is based upon experiance in using a T-90 topshifter from a Jeep on a T-86, dual lever transmission.
However; I did notice that the synchro collar and 1st/rev slider are in the exact same locations in both the single and dual lever transmissions. The only thing keeping a person from using one of those shifters is the bolt pattern for the access pan on top of the single lever transmission.
I haven't done this on a single lever, but made a mental note when comparing the two that it certainly wasn't impossible to use the T-90topshifter on either. Its a bolt-on with the dual lever requiring no modifications, slight modification on the top bolt pattern and some work around the gate shifting part of the single lever to seal it off.
That may not be what you were hunting for, but is a possible option.
