Good Idea 700 R And Tilt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gonebad2 · 10-16-2004, 04:11 PM

I'm not looking to sell these here. Just looking for opinions to see if there would be much interest in them. Last winter, I bought 30 of them from a dealer and can't find them now. I have completely torn the house apart looking for them. We are gutting the entire house at the end of the month to start a remodel. Hopefully, they will turn up. This indicator is for 70-72 tilt columns when the tranny has been changed to a 700 R4. This will also fit van columns that don't have the key in them. By the way.....I was able to find two of them for the pic.

Those things are great, 65streetcruiser bought one like that from Flaming River. The Flaming River column looks to be an an almost exact copy of the stock tilt and those indicators will interchange but only the tilt one. Non tilt columns are different. A buddy of ours bought a FR column for his Nomad and that was when we discovered the indicator out of it would interchange with the stock tilt indicator, so we ordered only the indicator. When we installed it it would not go all the way into first but we redrilled the shift linkage in 1/2 "closer to the selector shaft and reconnected the shift rod there. It gets all the gears now and lines up good. A nice little detail item. Hope you find them, you shouldn't have any trouble selling them.

hexafamily · 10-16-2004, 11:34 PM

I'd be interested too if any are left.

gonebad2 · 10-17-2004, 12:06 AM

As Soon as I find the remaining 28 I will let you guys know. I bought 30 of them from a dealer at Pleasanton last November. He was selling them for $14.00 each. He sold me thirty of them for $300.00. I am honestly surprised at how many people want them. My original intention was to sell them on ebay. To be fair to all have that have shown an interest, I will post the two I have found on the parts board for sale. First come basis. The wife and I will be gutting most everything out of the house because we are going to remodel most of the house. Everything has to be moved to make room for contractors. Maybe I will find the balance then....I will do my best to find them so I can get one to everyone that wants one.
