4 speed shifter question
My Car came originally with a 4 speed, but It didn't have a console. I have a console to add I am assuming I need the brackets that go to the floor, but do i need the bent style shifter? mine is straight has 442 stamped on it. Also my floor did not have the 4 speed "hump" part of the floor was butchered and i repaired that, based on the rolled lip on the uncut portion did 69's have the hump? or was it just a whole in the floor with a larger boot and then the smaller boot that is with the console? I did have the console mounted but it was kinda rigged wanted to reinstall it right when i get there.

Thank you Joe....
what i wouldn't give to have Blackberry access to that noggin of yours while i do this resto LOL...
what about the hump in the floor? it seems it never had one but they seem cheap enough, so if i need to add it would rather do it to make it correct.
The more i thought about if I needed the bent shifter i might just skip the console take out the strato buckets and add a bench seat ! I always loved the look of a bench seat with a 4 speed...

No hump on your '69 Eddie. Yes, you'll need the console brackets.
Actually, I think the "no console" look is pretty cool. It takes a large boot that is now reproduced. There is a steel mounting ring that goes over the bottom boot flange to secure it to the floor. There is a second boot flange right above it that goes over the flange *and* the carpet.
