OEM Center Console "spacer"??? Is this stock? !! PICS !!
I've recently seen photos of a center console spacer that looks to be stock, but it's something I'd never seen before. A few other experienced folks I know don't recognize it either.
It's a 1-13/16" tall spacer that goes under the rear mounts of the center console to lift it off the floor and presumably make the console more level... Here are the pics: http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Galler...onsole_005.jpg http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Galler...onsole_001.jpg http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Galler...onsole_003.jpg http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Galler...onsole_002.jpg It has the correct "pebble texture" finish on it, so it looks like a factory produced part. But there is no reference to it in the Factory Assembly Manual where it shows the center console installation. Could this be a part from a later model Blazer, that was inadvertently used in a 1st Gen console....or is there some other reason that this part is there??? I keep wondering how this could be a normal part, when I've never seen one until now, and most of the people I've shown it to don't recognize it either. I figure I'll post the photos here.....if anyone would know the true origins of this part, it's the fanatics of the 67-72 Board!!!! :metal: Thanks All! |

Mine doesn't have it. First time I saw one of those was about 2 minutes ago in your build thread. :D

I've never seen anything like that. But it sure looks like it could be a factory piece.
I don't believe that is a first gen console. They didn't have cupholders, or least my factory one doesn't. The 71-72 may have I'm not sure. |

That shouldn't change the necessity for this spacer as far as I can tell.... but I'm still perplexed. |

No idea on the spacer, but someone made it pretty nice. Grain doesn't seem to match. I'd be wary of the angle of the front mounts, could pull them thru |

That bracket is not used on 69-72 blazers. I'm parting out an 1980 2wd blazer and yesterday I removed the console and it had that bracket.

its a 73^ part

Re: OEM Center Console "spacer"??? Is this stock? !! PICS !!
For reference, I'm the guy with the spacer. It came along with the 73+ console I bought separately from the truck. It has a marking on the back that says:
Chevy - PN 470747 M It's molded in the same blue colored plastic as the console, but both were painted black by the previous owner. I'll keep digging around for the reason it's used. |

So the spacer is designed to be used on the FRONT mounting holes....and not the rear holes?
Interesting. |
Re: OEM Center Console "spacer"??? Is this stock? !! PICS !!
