Hello, I did some searches but still slightly confused.. My Car is Factory buckets no console... In 68, would you have a Bench seat style (big curved) handle or console style (slightly bent)? I have a Hurst now and would like to replace it with the original style Muncie Handle.

Thanks,

Dave, I believe that you would have the console style stick.
My reasoning is that the drawing on page D55 A2 (Console) points to the lever and says "see RPO M13, M20, M21, M22." When you check page M20 A1, illustration 7 is "3922523-lever, M21 & M22 with bucket seats" and "3922524-lever, M21 & M22 without bucket
seats". So it seems that there were just two handles, one for buckets (console or not) and one for bench. BTW those part numbers have been superseded to 3973865 (bench) and 3973866 (bucket).
Hope that helped.

Bill- Does this hold true for the 69 bucket/no console cars also ?

I believe it's the same for '69. Available from these folks and possible your local dealer-
