I believe the 1967 and older Powerglides' had a different range select lever for column or console shift. That's the lever on the side of the transmission the shift linkage attaches to. Not a big problem, just something to be aware of.

Thanks
Randy

here is 67 Chevelle    it "might" be close to a Beaumont  

 

The retainer ring for the 67 boot is shown in black. The chrome bezel fits on top of the carpet and is held down by 4 trim screws.

Sorry   you said Automatic     will not the hole be small and at the front of the shifter ??

Thanks for the input I know the power glide was a two speed looking at installing a 700 r4 or 200 want the overdrive. Just would like to see how the linkage went through the floor to see if I can make it work. I did see there is some conversion kits to make the shifters work [I need to do more home work on this part] Thanks for pictures of your floor pan I'm also replacing both front floor pans and interior.

As far as conversion kits for the shifters, check Shiftworks, it seems to me they do something for those.

Someone here MUST have a shot of a floor shift auto floor pan. If not, my neighbour a couple of minutes away will have one I'm sure. I can run there this weekend for pics if nobody else can help.

Not sure if this helps but this is a replacement floor with the auto shifter hole location. I wonder if your factory floor has dimples for the placement of the four mounting holes.
