4 speed bench seat v.s. buckets shifter location?

[72chrgrally]

Hey guys I was wondering if the shifter location is different in a bench seat car compared to a bucket seat car. My car is an auto console car but I want to put in a buckets buddy seat combo with a 4 speed. I know the shifter handles are different. Thanks.

I don't think so. Hump and carpets are the same for both. Handle shape changes just for clearence with seat I think

The hump is different
It is with the 2 Plymouth 4 spd cars I own
The bench shifter has a dog bone bracket
To move it's location and also different shift rods

So the bench shifter is farther forward then the console shifter? What is different on the hump?

 

[Nacho-RT74]

Interesting! More parts to make it harder then, LOL

Yep.

AMD even offers both humps.

Console (and buckets, no console) cars used the E body shorty shifter and the rear shifter mount on the trans.

Bench (and buckets with buddy seat) cars use the forward shifter mount position with the dog bone and a shifter that looks like a 70 bench seat shifter but not quite as long.

Brewer's site has pics of everything.

You could theoretically move the buddy seat back just a bit and use the rear mount, hump and shorty shifter.

You could NOT do that on a bench car.

Bucket seat 71 style...

Corrected 72 bench seat with dog leg. Even takes a different shifter boot and ring....

^^^ that bench seat one is what I want to put in.

Does the dog bone mount to the front pad of the transmission?

Yes. Your transmission has to have this tail shaft with both mounting positions...

AMD only makes one hump for 66-70 b body...Tech support says they are the same.

Tech Support is completely wrong...
Brewers has them both for Bucket seats and bench seat....

I was thinking 66-70 cars...I didn't notice this was about 71-74. Sorry for the bad info.

Bench seat hump.

 

[PurpleBeeper]

Yeah, me too...... man, the '71+ stuff is complicated. I used to have a '71 Charger & a '73 Charger (both auto's though).... beautiful cars in my opinion.

Thanks for all the replies guys, this has been very helpful. Gives me a reference for what to look for.
