Column ?
Since my ride is a P10 forward control chassis, it's a bunch of different GM truck parts of various years .
I'm getting all the goodies to put a 700r4 in it to replace the th350 and one of the little dumb things that will finish it up would be a replacement shifter lens . From the looks of it the Column looks to be the same as 71 / 72 no tilt unit but I'm not 100% . Any ideas and if so is there anyone who offers a replacement lens with the right markings for the 700r4 ? Front shot

Re: Column ?
I have purchased the "700R4 replacement lens" from more than one source over the years. I have yet to find one that is right. I just pull it out of park and count three clicks.

Re: Column ?
You have 2 options. 1st, you can purchase a ididit style lense which resembles the earlier housing. The second option is to purchase some clear mylar or plastic and a lettering kit and create your own to fit within the original bezel. This link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=519811 gives you details on how. It isn't perfect as it doesn't read out "park" as original but it worked for my needs. Best of luck to you.

You can also pirate that lense style from any van in the 70's and early 80's I believe so you don't have to ruin your original.
