    Don't know what production volume there was but the trans had a manual valve body , no kick down and no vacuum modulator.
    They are called a C4S

    Rcomet,

    Yes it is nice to have on the floor. I wondering if my Dad moved the shifter from the column to the floor. If he did, he did a nice job, I could never tell. Anyway to check this?--Dan

    look on the end of the steering column and see if it has hook ups for the shift linkages.the shift collar on the steering column may still have the shifter boss...frank...(y)

    Just an update:

    I found out from my Mom (original owner) that my Maverick Grabber was an original bench seat, three on the tree car. But, boy you'd never know now--Dan.
