Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?

I know this is a truck forum, but I know some of you guys do more than trucks. I bought this auto tilt column along with a ton of trim at an estate sale. Most the other parts are 69-72 (ish) El Camino parts. Can anyone ID this column?

It looks to be a 69 to 72 GM A body. The levers look like Oldsmobile, but with a lever change it wpuld be a Chevelle/ElCamino.

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
I agree with the Olds looking levers. I drove a few of those when I was a kid.

X3 on the A body. Any pics of the trim pieces?

Thanks guys. I don’t want to turn this into a for sale thread. I planned on putting these on feebay but I might consider posting on here in the misc for sale area. I have most of it sorted, still haven’t ID’d everything.

Considering I've done 17 sessions at 6-8 hrs a sitting I'm doing ok. I'm mostly tired, very little of the sick than I was expecting. So all in all pretty good. Thanks for asking.

I'm interested in some of it, just let me know. I see 71 park lamps. I also see some outside and inside door handles for an F body I believe.

I've got a couple of doors out back, I will see what I've got.

68bowtie 02-03-2018 07:56 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
So it seems the consensus was the tilt is a 69-72 a-body. But I cannot seem to find any pictures that match. What’s throwing me off is there is no ignition switch. Is that still consistent with a 69-72?

68bowtie 02-03-2018 08:08 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
Also right where the neck reduces down it doesn’t quite match 69-72 pictures I find online , and the shift linkage looks different. Am I crazy?

davischevy 02-03-2018 08:15 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
Sorry I didn't notice the switch or absence of.

That's a 68 only.

Very rare piece.

Ol Blue K20 02-04-2018 10:24 AM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
I agree that it is probably a 68. The levers look to be Buick to me due to the silver trim on them. An even rarer piece.

davischevy 02-04-2018 11:14 AM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
This thread went right over my head, but does everybody here have an El Camino?

We did a frame off on this one for the kids. They started having kids of their own while we were building it, so the wife and I have put most of the miles on it.

We drove it to the Canadian border, the gulf coast several times, Des Moines several times, and Washington DC.

I still have my Flame Orange 72 SS small block Elky . I drove it recently to my buddys bodyshop and he had a lady customer that fell in love with mine .She told me she was going to buy my Elky and she was not used to being told no . You should have seen the look on her face when I said NO ,its not for sale .She said I will get my husband to call you and get you to sell it .I told her he could not buy any better than she could ,not for sale .

It's a 71. The nose was bent when I got it. It had been parked in the garage for 17 years. It had 95,000 on the odometer. I had it drivable in a few days. I like 70 so I converted the front fenders to 70. Added the 70 rad support, grill etc.. it's now a 70 in appearance. I've been waiting for the 307 to die but at 139,000 it's still going strong.

Nice, I love driving mine. I've added power disc brakes which makes it nice. I have been refusing to add power steering. It keeps my kids from asking to borrow it.

I've had this Burnt Orange 71 SS454 for 30 years. A friend of mine bought it new. It has tilt, tach, posi, gauges, Cowl Induction, AM/FM stereo etc.

It has never been off the frame, but it's so clean underneath, it looks like it has.

My 70 SS Chevelle is in pieces and hasn't seen daylight since 1991..lol

You too? What are ya waiting for? ;)

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
I took a red, matching numbers, 1970, SS 396 apart in 1980, and it still sits that way in the shed.

Boog 02-04-2018 08:19 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
Larry. Oh so you are keeping the miles off it, right?

davischevy 02-04-2018 08:34 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
It's a very low mile Chevelle.

I'm not sure why I never got around to it. It had a spun rod bearing, we pulled the front cap and engine, in about 1982 and the project just died.

Every time I restore a car I say I'm doing that Chevelle next, and it just don't happen.

It's loaded with options and would be an easy build if I would just do it.

I have a matching numbers, red 69 SS 396 sitting right next to it that I have had since around 1990. It needs to be restored too, but I got sidetracked on these trucks.

Boog 02-04-2018 09:16 PM

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
 
69-70 are my favorite Chevelle/Elco models. And you can't go wrong with red.;) But Larry, at our age we only have just so much time left on this earth. We're running out of time!

I was telling my wife about a car the other day, and then I said "I'm not buying any more cars" and she said "I never thought I would hear you say that".

I'll keep building as long as I feel good. I get up every morning and go to the shop just like it was a job.
