Here is a link to a few photos of the console differences. I may be tackling the same project soon. Hope it helps out.

This is the route that I might go with. Just another idea.

I already have the 68 AT console, and I already extended the hole to fit my shifter. Then after lots of research i found out that it was an AT console. But I like the look of the top plate on the 68, not the 67

But plan to make my own top since I do not want the burlwood. I will see if I can find where I saw this at and post up a link.

what is a 8-9 style?

It can be done to make the 4 speed hole out of a auto one with a little metal work.
Had a local metal stamp place check into making 4 speed tops.They wanted $75K to tool up.

wow 75K
