 :wrenching:  Hello out there in Ebody land;  want to find out if there is a template or if there are measurements of where the Auto console brackets get welded to the floor board on a 70 Barracuda. Currently the car is column shift. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You. :wrenching:

@1Burgfish These photos are from my 1970 Challenger. Factory placement of brackets. I hope they help you.  :cheers:

Thanks Headejm; :handshake: quick question, from where is your base line you are using for your measurements?

Looks like the seat belt hole is his baseline.  :alan2cents:

When I did mine I started with the hole for the shifter rod that goes down to the transmission then worked back, assembled the shifter etc to the brackets , tack welded then tested out the shifter before final welding. Then assembled the console to the shifter to find the rear mount location. 
Hope this helps?  :wave:

  Maybe this photo can help. It's sitting in my shop and always in the way. Any value to this or is it only good for the scrap pile? I possibly could use it in a 74 Charger I hope to start on this fall. It is a column shift and I may switch it to a console shifter. Hmm.
