I am converting a automatic trans console to 4 speed. I need the fiberglass or plastic hump. I can find them for B body's. the C and B body consoles look the same. can the fiberglass hump for a b body be used on a C body console? my car is a 66. any input would be appreciated.
 
I think they're the same, I used a 64 Sport Fury console in my 65 Polara. I do have a used side hump from a 65 C body if you need one.
 
1. B-body humps do not fit C-bodies. How much can I emphasize the word, Not.
2. There is no aftermarket C-body hump.

How's your fabrication and welding skills.

Good luck.
 
The hump on the side of the console, Stan.
I know.

This thing. A C-body 4 spd transmission tunnel hump.
 
Here's a 65 C Console with the 4 speed side hump.

These are what convert an auto console to a 4 speed one.

My 66 console is a little different than a 65. A 65 plastic console hump will easily graft on to 66 console after a little trimming to the console. I have a 4 speed top plate.

I have been in contact with pomonamissel. I dont think his humps are ready yet I am going to get a b body hump and hopefully convert it to a c body. Using my c body hump for a pattern.

OK. Now I am confused.
I read the thread as your needing a C-body hump.
This says you have one already.
I'm confused.
I'm reading it as he will use the current floor in the c body to determine how to modify the b body four speed hump to work/fit.
 
Please post up pics and info of what you needed to do to modify the B-body hump to work on your C-body. I have a complete 66-68 C-body set-up, including hump, and plan on one day picking up a B-body unit to see what is required to make it work on a C-body floor pan.

Yes Stan we know they are not a direct out of the box fit....but they are a heck of a lot closer to working then a flat piece of tin. ;)

He was looking for the fiberglass extension for the console, not the sheet metal tunnel hump. As an Oh, By the way he's going to screw around trying to mod a b tunnel hump by using a proper example.
