If you don't care about correct, then Hurst, B&M both sell nice floor shfters for the TH350. I can't imagine where you would get stock stuff in Norway:confused::confused:

In the 67 Chevelle you could get a turbo 400 tranny. 66 was powerglide only.

So there is a stock factory three speed shifter that fits in the console just like the two speed shifter. The console "lens" with the PRNDSL is available aftermarket.

The two speed shifter for the powerglide uses a rod to shift.

The three speed shifter uses a cable.

Sometimes you can find them on Ebay, but they are pricey.

If you don't mind doing just a bit of fabricating, the two speed shifter can be modified to work by welding on a tab in the correct location to hold the cable end. The detent for the two speed can be replaced with a three speed detent. Check out Ebay, if there is one on auction at least you can get a picture that shows the cable end support and connection to the shifter handle.

A B&M "pro rachet" or equivalent can also be adapted to fit in the console.

If you have the factory floor shifter, a company named Shiftworks makes kits to change them from 2-speed (Powerglide) to 3-speed (TH350 or TH400) or even 4-speed (200R4, 700R4)...

I think the kits run about $100 and are pretty complete... Not bad...
