Automatic steering column gear indicator
The only gear indicator lens that GM made was for a Powerglide, so what lens have you guys used when you're running a 700r4? I've seen the ones that GM used in the late '80s, but the font on the letters does not match the gauge font.
I want to replace my Powerglide lens with one that works with a 700r4. I would like for it to fit inside my stock chrome bezel. Any suggestions?

Re: Automatic steering column gear indicator
Good catch! You could get a Turbo 400 in '66. Totally forgot about that one.

Re: Automatic steering column gear indicator
Here you go.
These guys have both shift indicator lens in reproduction 3 speed auto # S138 and the OD shifter lens #S139 for the original 60-66 truck applications. (These are the same as the early mid 60's Novas and 61-64 Impalas. www.shiftworks.com

That's exactly what I was looking for! I forgot all about Shiftworks. Those guys have been making stuff like that for overdrive transmission upgrades since the early '80s when the 200r4 and 700r4 were just coming out.

Re: Automatic steering column gear indicator
What Hot fun said! I did it and it will need just a tad bit of adjustment on the lens.

Re: Automatic steering column gear indicator
Subscribing for future reference. Was just thinking about this the other day, remembering that I had seen it discussed before.

Re: Automatic steering column gear indicator
So glad I found this thread, I have a 66 that will be getting a swap from a powerglide to a 700r4. The shop that is doing the work for me said they would have everything covered in the price they gave me...but I am pretty sure this detail has been overlooked.
What will I need to provide the shop to get this done? Is it the shift arm connection kit #KK02 and the column lens indicator #S139 ? |
