Could be. I’ll probably have to just roll on with what o have and keep an eye open. I can make brackets, not issue there. Just wanted to see what was out there for information.

Yenko used the Hurst version of the Dual Gate that was sold as a column to floor conversion kit.

This was one of the best auto shifters at that time and was even used in some Funny Cars and other pro drag cars.

It was used in the 1968 Hurst Olds and 68 Hemi Dart and Barracuda

There is info online if you search on 1968 Hurst Olds and 68 Hemi Dart.

GTO and Olds and others also had OEM Hurst Dual Gate shifters so there were many versions made and many different mounting brackets.

The one you have pictured is the one that I have. It shows the same brackets and location for the nss/back up light switch.

I think this Dual Gate has the brackets for a Camaro

The Camaro has a more flat top trans tunnel vs the more rounded Chevelle tunnel
