Also I have taken out a stock shifter and it appeared identical in over-all dimenstions to the "factory hurst"...and "bracket" appeared identical.
perhaps I was confused by the photos or whatever...or missed something along the way...your knowledge and assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes- the factory GM/Hurst shifter can be replace with the aftermarket Hurst without changing the bracket. This is due to the way the main pivot bearing is housed/retained in the aftermarket shifter. The aftermarket Hurst shifter was specifically designed for this possibility. This is why you didn't have a problem.
The factory GM/Hurst lever and bracket are different than the stock shifter. The geometry is different as well as some of the material and construction methods used to make them. The differences may appear subtle (most people won't notice them just eye-balling the parts) but they are different.
