don't remember if any one answered your question but the 66 console (automatic base) is the same as the 67 68 for sure. I think the top plate has a stripe running through it in one (66) year and not in the later years or I've got it backwards "AGAIN". I used the 68 top plate on my other 66 because the woodgrain was gone and it just looked smoother than the crusty 66 one had. but it's basically the same part function wise.
