Is there a difference in automatic shifters from 68 to 70 (console type shifters)?

I need one for my 69 because it came shifterless but I'm not sure what to look for.

Must be, I've seen a ton of Auto on the floor, but my '70 Charger has a column shift!

Thanks, but my question has to do with the shift lever shape for a console shift car. Did they make different styles from 68-70 or are they all the same?

Re: Console AT cars: Main difference is the shifter knob.  All 68's and some 69's had the chrome shifter knob with chrome pushbutton.  69's and 70's had the woodgrain shifter knob and black pushbutton.  For all three years the shifter arm's are the same

Don't some/all of the earlier chrome-knobbed shifters have a bit less angle in the tube bend compared to the woodgrain-knobbed ones?

1st gen ('66-'67) had a slightly longer, gradual curved stem.
The '68-'70 shifters had a sharper angle, and slightly shorter.
'68-down had a chrome knob, changed somewhere in '69 to the woodgrain knob used thereafter thru '70.
