Shift indicator options w/OD - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What options do we have if not running a tilt for a OD shift indicator I can't seem to find anything to work correctly? Any and all info would be great.

I think Flaming River sells a OD lens that will fit on the stock column.

Would you happen to have a part #? I'll check around the FR site too.

Sorry, all of my stuff is in storagein FL. You might want to PM boardmember RETRO68, I know he does some custom work on columns.

Cool thanks for the heads up I been looking at the FR site but nothing says it'll fit our columns.

Not that you were asking about shift arms, but this might also be helpful
http://www.kugelkomponents.com/produ...shiftkits.html for your shift arm. I'm assuming you're going to a 700R4.

As far as the indicator goes, I have one, which I bought from www.brotherstrucks.com
It is part number BR00560 as you can find here:

Hope this helps!

http://www.classicparts.com/prodinfo...&desc=(1947-87) Acrylic Shift Indicator w/Pointer-4spd

It looks just like the stock one, just unscrew the old and screw in the new.

Yes I saw that also but didn't know about the pointer deal working like the stock one. I will look more into this. I have also been kicking the idea around of getting an Ididit tilt column.

You don't have to use the pointer. The stock one is fine. All your really doing is changing the lense to line up with the shifter detents in the 700R4/200R4/4L60E transmission
