Muncie shifter handle 70 chevelle

[ohhawk]

Pictures I've looked at would have me believing that the shifter for all bucket seat SS cars in '70 were the same whether you had a console or not. If there was a difference it doesn't show itself clearly in a picture. I look at my own (with a console) vs. the benchmark car (w/o console) as well as other '70 pictures and they look the same to me.

To fuel the confusion though I have another source that says there were 3 different part #'s:

3973865 - w/o bucket seats
3973864 - bucket seats / no console
3973866 - bucket seats / console

This source shows part #3973867 (mentioned in initial post) belonging to the SS 350 cars in '71 and '72. Also not aware of any shifter with a "no bend" in a '70 SS.

Clear as mud, right?
