I wanna convert my 68 Malibu from a bench seat to adjustable bucket seats. I also want to convert my column shifter to a floor shifter.

It doesn't have to look stock at all, so all aftermarket would be fine.

I'm thinking of using the B&M Megashifter with a 200-4R and no console...is that an easy conversion from the column shifter? What's involved?

What parts would I need to do the seat conversion? Also, are the summit brand seats any good (part number:sum-csum101)?

Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Casey

I'm feeling nice, so you have email with a complete write up on how to do the megashifter swap.

Mike would this work for the factory console also. I thought about doing this swap in my 72 although i wanted to put the remanufactored console in it. To keep things looking original. Would this file work for me if so send on over. and dont worry im already married w/ kid on the way.

thank john

Hey Mike,
I'm already married and have a 5 year old daughter (DON'T EVEN THINK IT!!), but would maybe, possibly trade you for a six-pack of your choice?!

I have a 700r4 in my 70 Nova and have been contemplating switch from column to floor shifter... any suggestions?

Thank you so much, see you at CB'02, Big Boy!

He he
