For the Pontiac Purists you might want to turn away now. With that said I wanted a stock looking but a more performance orientated shifter. I used my stock two speed shifter and a early 70's Pontiac Lemans shifter. The body of the shifters seem to be the same from 1968 to 1981 in all GM cars. The only two differences that I could find were that the feet change per tunnel of the car and 68 only had the neutral safety switch on the shifter. All of the brackets are spot welded on and have alignment pins. So I drilled out 12 spot welds and changed the feet from my 68 shifter onto a 70's shifter that had the ratcheting option. I also had to change out one other bracket for the neutral safety switch. Here are some of the brackets that I removed. Welding brackets back on. Side shot. Neutral safety switch bracket (68 only)
