My 63 is a push button auto. Just curious what the dash looks like for 4 speed cars. Obviously the buttons have to disappear, whole new dash or just cover for the holes?? Picture if you have one please.
Just out of curiosity again, how about sport fury with console auto shifter? Did they make such a thing in 63?You'll need one like topside's. Three speed standard transmission. Three on the column, maybe three on the floor was available. No four speeds until 1964.
To the best of my knowledge, no. No console shifters till 65.Just out of curiosity again, how about sport fury with console auto shifter? Did they make such a thing in 63?

Mike, not to be a Dream Killer, but I spoke with the Tremec Team at the Autorama in Detroit, earlier this year, seeking info on a similar set up for my '65. They do not currently offer a 5/6 "TKx" for any mid '60s Mopars, and said "No real future plans" to offer them. They said it may be possible to use a later model year, but would take extensive floor tunnel work, to make it fit properly. Maybe someone can Add some info on this topic that has attempted, and succeeded the process ?Thank you. Nice and clean.
My dream would be to convert my car to a 5/6 speed TKx type trans. A new dash as such would be the perfect finishing touch.
I have a question about the no 4 speed comment. I have a 63 Belvedere that codes out to 361, 4 speed on the fender tagYou'll need one like topside's. Three speed standard transmission. Three on the column, maybe three on the floor was available. No four speeds until 1964.
Four speed was available in 63, a weakass BW t-10. Mopar figured out it was too weak for a big block mopar, and brought out the CHRYSLER four speed 833 in 64.
(Actually, a four speed was available even earlier (1960?) in a Chrysler 300, a french pont a mouson (spelling?). Translated it means "utter garbage

Not true. In 62 and 63 youcould get a 4-speed transmission but it was a T-10 transmission manufactured by Borg-Warner and not New Process Gear (Mopar).You'll need one like topside's. Three speed standard transmission. Three on the column, maybe three on the floor was available. No four speeds until 1964.
None taken. I have heard all the bad things. My original trans is long gone anyway@bama69, no offense meant to your 63, I probably shouldn't have phrased my answer that way, but....
Even Ford was replacing t-10s in 63 with toploaders, because the t-10 was too weak for 260/289s in full size fords.
