Can anyone confirm if these actually are the correct rods for a 1969 B body?

Thanks,
Mike

I shot Scott an email and he says Hurst never made a handle for a '69 bench seat big car, only console cars. He also stated that the shift rods are long discontinued.

Does anyone know on a '69 (bench seat)when going from the original Muncie shifter to a Hurst completion plus does the hole in the floor need to be modified from its original size?

Ken , Nothing needs to be modified on your floor or your hump, if your using the right Hurst mounting bracket for B bodies . Hurst bracket # 4205 .
I use this bracket when I do switch to the Hurst. If you require one I have an extra I'm selling . Currently on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/182887133329

Ken, I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't think it would have to be modified. The guy I bought the hurst shifter from checked his old hurst books and it noted that the shifter was for non-console cars, that's why I had to have the offset receiver put in. Here is a photo of the shifter mounted on the trans with the factory opening.

Finally got everything and installed it last night. I just had to get an offset handle receiver to move the stick to the middle of the console opening. I didn't think the factory shifter was that bad, but what an improvement the hurst is. I dealt with Scott at hurst shifters online who was awesome to deal with. Here are a couple of pics. Happy Thanksgiving.

Mike, I ordered a shifter setup a couple of years ago from that company. Those are the correct rods, the shifter mechanism I got was 3915403.The guy I talked to was Scott, very good to deal with. It was for a 69 Biscayne bench seat. If you want the lever #s I can get them for you. I have since changed my mind, and going with the original setup. If you have any more questions you can give me a call. Geof 519-423-1916

Geof,
I have the same issue you had. I have a 69 Impala SS427 4 speed with console. The Muncie shifter is probably beyond rebuild and would like to change over to a Hurst shifter and would like to know what part numbers to order or a number to call at Hurst for advise. Thanks for any info. if you need my email, it is bobamja@yahoo.com. Again thanks!

I used the rods, levers, and shifter from the link in the original post from hurst shifters online. They are for a non console car, but I have a console. The owner sent them and if it didn’t work, to return it and he would put an offset in the shifter mechanism. Found out with a console you need the offset. I sent it back and he returned the shifter with the offset and everything worked out. So if you go this route, you would need offset for the shifter mechanism.

Thanks Chad. Would you know if I could use, like a Chevelle or 66-67 Impala Hurst shifter body, along with these rods, the correct levers and the Hurst 4205 mount, to use in my 69 with console? It seems like it would work. I still have the original Muncie shifter in my car.

That should work although I'm not sure if it will fit with a console.
