A question for you guys,
My friend in Sweden and owner of a 67 GT500 wants to know if the shifter and lever are the same for
a GT350 and GT500. The rods are different, and he found the correct ones in Sweden. He also bought
a RUG-S and it turned out to be from a 67 GT500. Talk about being lucky.

Yes the shifter is different. It is a bigblock vs a smalblock thing.
Reverse leg different. Rest the same
Yes, if you stick an alignment pin ( drill bit, phillips screwdriver round shaft) through the hole that will align the 3 levers locking the shifter into nuetral ,
the GT350's reverse lever (leg) will point straight down where the GT500 reverse lever will be angled back , that reverse lever on the big block will have a slight angle in it
Also, I believe the frame to the shifter box will also have an extra mounting hole at the front , allowing you to mount it to the big block shifter bracket.
The big blocks had the relocation bracket that was mounted between the shifter and the tail housing of the shifter bringing the shifter box back further on the tail housing,
where a small block shifter would mount directly to the tail housing without any additional bracket
