[zicc1835]

I have a 69 that according to the spid it came with a power glide the shift indicator looks like it’s for a 350 or 400 I’ll get a picture later anyone know what OE shift indicator on the column looks like for a 2 speed power glide or a picture and yes it is a power glide trans
Thanks

thank you Patrick for that pic .... I found them reproduced on Classic Industries and im not sure if this is an original column or indicator

[pjmoreland]

Interesting. I'm surprised there's enough demand for them.

have this piece I purchased years ago from someone on the board I hope I can make it work the tape on the ends is just holding the original screws in...Im thinking the lens will fit not sure wether the rest will line up ill check that tomorrow

I know the feeling. My project truck is outside right now, and it has been raining for the last few days.

That indicator is not even close. No Powerglide shift indicator ever said "L2". If you look at the column, you can count the detents. Five detents (PRND21) means it ain't a Powerglide, which is (PRNDL).

I took ownership on this beauty about two weeks ago (Grand Theft Auto)
YES SIR on the not even close ! I ordered the correct lens ... Patrick so kindly verify for me sending that picture. Im hoping it fits in the chrome housing I have and on the column ..like I said Im not sure if the column is original to the truck either... you might know looking at the picture ?

It took me about 4 readings of the thread to figure out you were thinking of ordering just the lens and changing it out in the metal holder you have on hand. Does the shifter work OK and go into the gears properly and all you are lacking is the correct lens?

[zicc1835]

Yes sir sorry I made it so confusing …. But yes it’s the lens only the column shift works properly

[dmjlambert]

I would bet the new lens will fit. If not, it seems like a new one could be fabricated.

L1 L2 D are on a three speed hydromatic. If it does have a powerglide you need the indicator that PHMorland showed.

Still unless you are planning on an anal to the letters on the spid restoration you will need the indicator for the transmission that will be in the truck when you go to drive it.

ok let me try to make this clear as mud the truck has a power glide in it and it came with this indicator FIRST PICTURE wrong for a PGlide

today I installed the one I had on hand SECOND PICTURE with the Park R N D L2 L1 lens in it. the chrome metal housing that will hold the same Lens

THIRD PICTURE Park R N D L the picture that Patrick sent me correct for a PGlide

I ordered a new repop one that hasn't arrived yet but when it does I will take the wrong lens Park R N D L2 L1 out it will fit the new correct one in that chrome metal housing and that problem will be addressed and solved I HOPE

[zicc1835]

and if that isn't clear here is another issue the indicator(pointer docent match the chrome metal housing I installed
so with a little research looks like the setup that was on the column is a 71-72 non tilt for a 3 speed auto trans and what I need 67-70 power glide set up are repoped and I have them on order
thanks for the input and help everyone
