1970 console shifter & linkage

[70Tom]

Is the console shifter/linkage for a 1970 Sport Fury the same as the shifter/linkage for a 70 B-body? I know the console is the same. Just not sure about the actual shifter arm and linkage to transmission.

Thanks

I know the shifter is different, as well as the console, not sure about the linkage.

The console is different? I always though they were the same. They look exactly the same on a Sport Fury. I think some of the other C-bodies are different.

1970 C body only:

B body

The tops are completely different, not sure about the mounting brackets. Shift arm is longer as well. The linkage underneath is adjustable, so that may be the same.

My Sport Fury console looks exactly like the bottom pic.

Sorry, going by 1970 c body Chrysler, don't know about the Plymouth models, it must have been the same as the B.

The console tops are different in some cars, but the base of the console base is the same. The shifter itself is the same, but I'm not sure of the linkage to the pivot is the same or not. I think it is the same.

You can check the parts book. Download one here if you don't have one. MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - Parts & Accessories Books

B-body brackets fits into c-body?

B-body brackets fits into c-body?

Good question. It's the same console base. Whether the floor/hump will work with those brackets, I don't know. If anyone has a set of original brackets, maybe they can post a pic.

I just ask, because that www page i did see, show c-body brackets.... and those wasnt same as b-body brackets. But if c-body can use same as b-body... im more than happy.
