correct, all the 69 B cars had only two transmission options, standard equipment was a 3 speed manual sycromesh on the tree and optional was a TH400 automatic three speed on the tree. All engines including the HO were available with either trans with the following two exceptions... the NC option regular fuel 265horse-400 2 bbl and the mid year optional 340horse-400 4bbl were available only with hydramatic.

You could still order buckets (black only) in only Catalina or Bonneville two door models but no console or floor shift of any kind were offered. Note that some early factory literature incorrectly shows a 4 speed option.
