100% agreed, i might add that you would need a boot for a '70 B-Body to go with the handle.
That year only has a rectangular opening for the shift handle and the A-Body is always round.
Not anymore!!! Brewer's is making an A-body boot that takes a pistol grip! Might have to get one of these. I have the B-body boot but it uses the B body trim ring and it's shorter than an A-body trim ring, only 3 holes work for the retaining screws.
