914-6 Tub Options

[Speedster07]

What is the TUB difference between a 914-4 and a 914-6, not a GT just a 6, or are they the same makers, ie...Karman or ???

As an owner of two stock sixes with zero mods, I can tell you that there were so many changes made to the tubs from the time production began until the last six in '72 that no book or article has yet to catalog them. This doesn't include the 916. Different animal. My 70's are #0137 and #0876 made two months apart and there are differences between them. Just one example, the tabs that hold down the floor mats are not on #137 but are on #876. It was not uncommon to stop the production line and offer an upgraded design at the factory. There are other differences, but I won't go into that now. For those looking to swap out parts from a rusted or busted six and upgrade to a newer chassis, it is still not a "real" six. To me, the '72 chassis is the best conversion tub. It's lighter than the '73 and later ones. But, in perspective you can do anything you want with any tub because they are that flexible. In the end, a real six will always be a real six and all others are conversions. That is from me, the purist. Don
