1965 dart automatic - Can i do a floor shift and keep the Bench Seat?

Ringy,
Let me make sure i follow... you currently have a column shifted 904 and would like to convert to a floor shift. These early 904's (65 and earlier) use a special floor shifter setup which is cable operated. You *may* be able to install the shifter on the floor but you won't be able to use the cover for it because it'll interfere with the bench. The (expensive) solution is to install a later year 904 which can be operated with standard floor shifters (B&M, Hurst...) but you'll also have to replace the driveshaft since yours is setup with the ball and trunion... No easy solution here i'm afraid.... Buckets are actually your best bet since you can get the 64-65 floor shifters pretty easily...
