Hurst 4 speed shifter handles 7036 and 5973 fit (bucket or bench)???
Need a little help here.
The 7036 I am more familiar with most 69 to 70 possible early 71
What is the 5973 fit. Is it the 68 half year hurst shifter handle?

I have pretty much the same question. Hurst bench seat handle. Is there such a thing? I really don't know if there is.
When researched the factory part numbers. I only come up with #2996313 w/o console and #2996314 with console. No mention in the factory parts book for a bench seat handle part number.
Is there a difference between the common #7036 handle and the less common #5973 handle.
I would like to see them put side by side for comparison.

Also check out this earlier post...
Hurst 5973 or 7063 shifter stick
 
I have only seen the 7036 shape for 69 to 74ish(I know they change it from a slip in to a bolt on) then they change handle to bend up. As far as the 5973 is a shorter shifter handle but I do not know what its correct for.
 
I think the bolt in handle came out in either the late 71 cars or early 72 cars?
And based on the earlier post. The bolt in handle had the number 7926 on it.
I had a bolt in handle, but sold it last year. Now wishing that I never did.
Here is a picture of it.....

I have all 3 but stilll does not help on what the shorter on fits. I personally thinks it’s for January of 68 a bodies.
 
Where is it shorter? Before the bend or after? That is, I'm assuming the the angle of the bend is the same as the other handles.

I'm looking for a bolt in one that matches my current bench slip in, I believe the bolt in one pictured above is a close match but I cannot find actual measurements. I did more research on numbers but it's not with me at the moment.

The one on the top is the 5973, hard to see in the picture but is a little shorter. Also angles down
 
I see that there is quite a difference between them.
Was the 5973 handle listed for a A-body?

Also those who have talked about the existence of a bench seat handle have said that the
handle is angled forward more in order to clear the seat.
 
If your sure its an A body shifter, that lower angle would have to be a bucket seat car. IMO.
 
Hey guys! Sounds like ya'll may know where to reference these #s (7036, etc) from in a parts book or document somewhere? When I try to look up these numbers in the parts catalogs all I can find are part #s that don't seem to match these stamped #s on the shifters. I'm trying to find these source documents that state what these #s mean so I can have for my records.

That looks like the "A" Body Aftermarket Competition Plus shifter with the welded handle. I have a couple of them. What are you looking for?

I'm looking for the chrome stick.
I know now it is not a push in or a bolt on. The stick actually goes into the shifter case.

I want to take the handle and cut it off at the welds, drill holes, and bolt it to my current shifter.
I want to be able to cut it so it is the correct height when installed as I have a bench seat.

I had attached a pic in the link below of the handle going into the mechanism but it was removed and I deleted from my phone

There are 2 different bends that used the 7036 part#. I have had numerous bench seat 4 speed shifters and some are bent straighter/not as sharp for bench seat cars. Buckets non console had a sharper bend. Maybe they changed the bend during production or something. But there definitely is a bench seat only bend out there.
