I don't think there are dates.

what do numbers like these stand for 29D34E

shifers don't have date stamps.

Some speculation is they may be assembly line routing numbers.Definitely not date codes.

They may be Die numbers for quality control checks.

Is the shifter a factory Hurst, Muncie or Saginaw?

I been collecting numbers off the 69 Camaro OEM Hurst and that number fits a pattern with 75% of them.
the sec. no. is a 9 and 1st no is 1-9 on most of them.
19D35E, 19D53D,are Jan,1969 some are 118B13H Nov 1968, some have a different no that I think are Firebird shifters as the no is consistant with GTO round handels, some have a long no. with no letters which I think are rebuilts or service parts counter shifters.
