    I have a hump thats in my 71 car but originally was from a 68 GS 400 car. I have removed the original floor piece and the hump and it was put in my 71. I compared it to another 71 hump at one time...exact thing. Since I will be removing this part soon, as I am parting the car out, I may possibly be able to supply a used but good shaped one. I'll consider it.Pat

    If someone can post a picture of the one that is confirmed to be the same for '68-'71, then I can tell you if it is the same for '65. Attached is a picture of an original in a '65 GS.

    Brian these look exactly the same.. Execept for the damaged areas..The way back section of this 4 speed hump was damaged also.. But I will get it staighted out..The reason i would like the number is because there is a number on this one also.. Would be nice if they we the same..Randy

    You will have to ask Mark Ascher--that picture is of the one in his car. The one in my car is one I made by modifying a Chevelle one. I still have my original, but it is too rusty to find any numbers on.

    Mark's car is disassembled and at a body shop being painted right now. He is on this board under the name Mark Ascher, so you can send him a PM. Here is another view if you can zoom in and see the number:

    Add me to the list of 'eagerly' watching this and hoping a repop will come into existance. trying to SAVE a 69 GS 400 4 speed with the entire (either 2x3 or 3x4 foot) section chopped out of the floor just for that ring :af: . I will post pics when the car arrives :Brow:
    Either way, I NEED one of these humps!!!! Come on, ChinaMike or TPP :TU:

    George, this may be a long shot to you,but I have the original floor section that I removed from a 68 GS 400 4 speed car. This is a template I used to cut the floors in other cars. I took the hump off of it and used it in my 71 car. I traced the hole thats in the template to make it the right size. I now have the hump in my 71 and haven't decided exactly where I am going with it yet.

    BigNasty- cool. Let me know. I began to take invertory of what I need for the GS- which is everything (sans column). If I can find a date coded M-21 for a 69-72, I can get the original, #'s matching Muncie for my 69 GS.....Anything you have that could help I would appreciate it :TU:
