the 391-4339 is listed in the old Hurst catalog for the 1968 Chevy II ( Nova ) with console and is the same shifter for 67-68 Camaros

I just checked the Hurst on-line catalog and it still shows the 391-4339 for the 1968 Chevy II ( Nova ) with console

not sure why they list a different shifter for the 68 and 69 Nova with consoles
unless the consoles or something is different?
or they just never changed the listing

Perhaps the difference is the backup lite connection?? this was mounted on the tranny near the shift linkage thru 68...in 1969 it moved to the steering column with the intro of the locking column.

the Hurst 391-4339 is the shifter and chrome stick

the install kit is separate and has the rods and levers mt plate etc.

the install kit is different from 68 to 69 because 63-68 Muncie used small slot levers and 69-74 Muncie was changed to larger slot also rev light and steering wheel lock out rod change

that looks like a nice HD trans

not sure why they call the 391-7875 a special build shifter it looks the same as the one that that has been used for many years. Same 90 deg offset design used in the 69-72 Chevelle Hurst shifter.

391-7875 is listed under that same number in my 1987 Hurst catalog for the 1969 and 1970 Nova with console


did it come with the 4106 chrome stick?

the 67-68 Camaro shifter used the 4106 stick

That's a good question about the stick, but I don't know what the number is - we installed it, and pray that we don't have to monkey with it again!

You are correct about the lever slots and the backup mechanism, diff for '68 vs '69, but the shifter hump and console were the same. I don't know why they call it a 'Special Build', nor why it isn't listed. Jody hooked me up in fine fashion, and he's a dealer for the Hurst products.
