67 Transmission hump for Saginaw and Shifter

[lafrenierematt]

Does anyone know where i can get a transmission hump for a 67 with a 4 speed. Also what shifter will I need to go with the 4 speed Saginaw? Its a no-console setup.

thanks,
Matt

Try any of the GTO places as well. They will have the hump & maybe the shifter too.

Use the 64-67 Chevelle hump, it's identical to the Buick GS hump.
For shifter boots, you can use either the Chevelle style, or the larger Olds style sold by Fusick Olds and the Parts place. I have pics posted of the hump and boots.....somewhere on V8.....
What style of shifter are you looking for?
Mid 60's Impala shifters are repo'd and look very close to the GS shifter. They're made for Muncies tho. Not sure if the Saginaws are different....
Bet Hurst makes a shifter for the Saggie, if you want to go that route.

I wouldn't say 'identical' on the Chevelle hump, unless there is more than 1 company making them. If you are really particular, they are not even close. The shape, and hole size are different, but it can be modified to work.

Not meant as a slam....:pp Just want him to know what he's getting before he buys one.

Well okay, the lip is bent differently, but this repo is the same shape, and hole size is the same as the original in my '66 GS. Is the '67 different?
Here's a pic of the repo next to the original 66:

And a comparison of the original 66 GS boot on the left, and a Chevelle boot on the right. The Chevelle boot is about $25 and fits in the same holes as the 66.

Or you can go with the repo Olds boot on the right. It's about $50. Note that is for a rectangular shifter handle.

Your 67 would not have come with a Saginaw transmission or shifter. If it has one someoen put it in there. You should have a Muncie.

Your right, that does look very close. The 67's must be different, cause they are more 'squared' off on the top side. I have pics in the conversion thread that shows the difference. Your's looks definately close enough. I'm having to section my old hump with the new one to make it close enough for me in my 67.

Learn something new everyday, thanks for the pic!:pp Why would 66's and 7's be different?

[wkillgs]

Well, the 67 GS used a Muncie trans, and the 65-66 used a BW-T-10. But even the shifters are almost the same those 3 years. I don't know why they would be different. :Do No: Did 67's use the same boot as pictured above?
I should have mentioned the 64-65 small-block cars used a shifter hump that is different than the GS's. Brian posted a pic here once upon a time...
And more importantly, the repo hump will need to be massaged for clearance if a Hurst shifter is used.

The repo Chevelle hump should be a good starting point for most swaps....it might need tailoring for some applications, but it's the best we have available for our Buicks.
It's relatively small, so you can still use a carpet set for an automatic car.:TU:

[Madmax69]

Yup, the boot is the same as you have shown. I have a 65 also, and they both use the same boot and shifter, like you said. I never looked at the hump on the 65 to see if it is different like yours.

Like you said, the chevelle hump will work, and it's the best we got. Maybe i'm just 2 picky!:grin:

Walt, question for you -- the Chevelle boot on the right has a rectangular hole for the shift handle -- the boot on the left has a big round hole.

You said the Chevelle boot goes for about $25 -- what website sells it? Thanks my friend, take care.
