I'm going to install a b&m stealth pro-ratchet in my 68. I've already figured out it's not going to fit under the factory console.If you want to keep the oe console I would recommend the quick silver.I used it in both my 65 coronet500 and my 68 coronet r/t with factory consoles and no top plate mods.as for the cuda i'm adapting a 2002 model avenger console with the upsweep to meet the dash and the tunnel mounted hand brake,it will allow me to move the shifter rearward and still cover the mechanism .hope this helps
