Thanks ! is there anyway to know how many were built with this combination, color and trim ? I always thought it was a 4 speed but guess I was wrong.
1969 - 43437 3spd column = 58 3spd Floor = 175 Total = 233 Contact Mike Trom on this board. I believe he can help you answer any other question about production :TU: David
You can contact GM Canada and get the build sheet from them. Does it still have the 12 bolt rear end in it? Chris
Chris, the original 12 bolt was gone when I got the car. It had the upper control arm braces 4 speed cars had and it had 1 boxed lower arm in the trunk. I installed a 12 bolt from my canada skylark but built it with a moroso 4 series carrier, 4:10's and a rear sway bar. I found another 12 bolt to put in the skylark.
