: Bench seat with a 4 speed?

Anyone know if you could get a floor shift 4 speed with a bench seat in 68? I know the console won't fit with a bench, but perhaps just a stick with boot setup?

Thanks, Kurt

A bench seat with 4 speed was definitely available in 68. My former brother-in-law had a red 68 SS396 with black interior that was equipped that way. He bought it used in late 69 or early 70. It had no type of console or anything, just a rubber boot with trim ring on the center hump.

Thanks Bill. That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Kurt,

Two of my 68's have original 4 speeds with bench seats.

My 68SS is a factory bench seat 4-speed as well, and the original window sticker confirms it.

The bench seat was standard in a 4spd car.
Buckets & console were actuly optional
