Are 70 pistol grip rods and levers the same as other years?

dsd1967 · Oct 27, 2019

I know the 70 shifter has the special pivot for reverse lockout, but are there any differences between the transmission levers and the rods? In looking at Brewers site, they list the rods and lever kits for 66-70 as the same....are they or does the 70 pistol grip have different lever/arm hardware due to the longer shifter fingers?

Here are the lever numbers, not sure about the rods.

Thanks JimCoronette. It looks like I have the levers....I assume those will fit all years....correct? I think what I have is all correct because it came attached to a 70 shifter that was in poor condition...just trying to confirm.

The operating levers are the same, the rods are different. 70 pistol grip rods are for just that application. Or if you want to put a pistol grip on previous years B bodies. You need the shifter with the longer fingers, and the 70 rods to run the ‘pistola gripola’

...or if you already have the Hurst shifter installed, you can fetch the pistol grip handle with two mounting
holes by itself.
