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?

Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
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.
|
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
X3 on the A body. Any pics of the trim pieces?
|
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
I need the chrome trim for above the windows on an Elky if you have it ,top of doors .

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.

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?
|
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?
|
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
Sorry I didn't notice the switch or absence of.
That's a 68 only. Very rare piece. |
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.
|
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
This thread went right over my head, but does everybody here have an El Camino?
|
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
I'm not everyone but I have one....lol

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. |
Re: Anyone know chevelle/elko parts?
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 .

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. |

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