I want to use a pistol grip shifter without the console in my 69 GTX. Any issues with this install? I've seen this on Roadrunners and I like the clean look. Does the RR and GTX have the same set up? I would think it would.

Console is an extra cost option , you'd have to order it , pay for it , then delete it ... just like a RADIO ....

But I digress .

RR and GTX have the same interior except for the door panels and the 150 speedo, and the woodgrain dash, so it will look the same and use the same shifter .

Make sure you get a 70 non-console pistol grip, not a 71 as the lever has a different angle/length...

Note that 66-70 can use the same Hurst lever.



Just my $0.02..

Using the terms Console Delete or Radio Delete is sort of like refering to a '69 440 GTX as Hemi Delete.

When you install the 1970 pistol grip, just make sure you also get a hurst shifter box specific to the 1970 b-body. In 1970, the fingers on hurst shifter box were longer to shorten your overall shifter throw and smashing your shifter into the dash.

What is it that you don't understand? It is a bone of contention with many members to refer to things in a proper way.

You can only "delete" something that comes as standard equipment such as a heater. Which back in the day when it was standard and could be deleted you received a credit on the window sticker for not receiving it.

People have been referring to the blank plate on cars without radios as a radio delete plate for years but the correct term is radio block off plate as the radio could not be deleted as it was an extra cost item.

The console was always optional (except on 66/67 Chargers) so you could never delete something that was an option, but you could ORDER it as an option. What is so hard to understand about this?

In other words you can not delete something that is not there in the first place. If you ordered an option why would you then want to delete it? You just don't order it in the first place.

Mine will have the valve cover bolt delete option soon as I'm ready to just glue my covers on and do away with effective bolt thread engagement. I have also had a few 69 superbees with the A12 selete option.

Come on Bill, you know you stole that out of a cop car. Something you probably learned back in the day like those kids in American Graffitti pulling the rear end out of the cop car.
