What do you mean by a "short stick" non-console Dual Gate? If it didn't use the plastic Hurst "console" surround, what hid the shifter's guts? The tall "autostick" used a regular 4 speed style "super boot" and was rod activated correct? I've seen this setup in George Lyon's HO A/T Deuce. The Dual Gate was a cable operated shifter, that sits up off the floor and necessitates the use of the plastic "console" to hide it's inner workings. Do I have this straight? I'm just not quite comprehending how a true "Dual Gate" like the ones used in the '69 cars could be installed without a console to cover it's moving parts? Or was the tall stick on the AutoStick shifter a bolt on and was swapped for a shorter stick? I was under the impression the AutoStick shift handle wasn't a removable bolt on type. Marlin, just what the heck are we talking about here?
