NICE!  I assume that is 66 GS ONLY, correct??

Looks great Bill! Is it plated or plainted?
Do you know of any differences between '66 and '67 shifters? I once heard the bushing holes were different sizes.
'66 used the T-10 trans and '67 used the Muncie. Both bolted to the trans crossmember to reduce vibration.

Yes this one is 66 only. Not sure if painted, but seems tough.

The difference in 66 and 7 factory shifter as I can determine is that some of the rods are different and the arms are different size where they fit on trans. I currently have a unrestored 67 for sale on V8, thanks

Did a quick compare side by side of the two, and while the body's appear to be the same, the rods are all different in there bends and the 67 ones are larger diameter. All of the arms are slightly different, but both seem to be the same size where they bolt to the side cover. If I get a chance I will take a picture of both together and post here.
