See attached pic… would this shifter fit 68 Charger with non console factory 4 speed?
Thanks

Yes, that’s the one you need. Just double check to see if your shifter linkage is the bolt style (like this shifter), or bayonet style

That pistol grip shifter shown IS the bayonet style (Slip Type) not a later bolt in handle...
 
Understand that the pistol grip didn't appear until 1970 on any Mopar.
As long as you have a Hurst mechanism, the handles are reproduced in both two-bolt and blade styles
for both console and non-console cars:
1970 B-BODY PISTOL GRIP SHIFTER HANDLE NON-CONSOLE - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission & Component Specialists
I knew about starting in 70, but not into that stuff, just like the shifter. However after searching, the prices for those things are ridiculous
 
Inlands were carried over on early '68 models but not "common"... They look like this and bolt on.

"Inland" was the supplier of 4-speed shifter mechanisms to Chrysler from 1966-early1968. Characterized by tubular shifter with T-handle to access Reverse. Black knob with shift pattern. They must have been cheaper than a Hurst, and did not work as well. I built a 1967 Coronet with a 4-speed, and adapted an Inland shifter handle to a set of Hurst guts, to make it look correct for the year of production. I am not good at grabbing pictures and posting them, so will leave this to someone else.

Seems to me that Sox and Martin did extremely well with an Inland. If it was good enough for them, I guess I will use ours. I will keep the Hurst shifter that was in the car when we bought it.
