NE WTB: turbohydramatic automatic column indicator lens - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**HOTFUN** · 03-24-2012, 10:13 PM

I know this may be a long shot but maybe someone has taken off one at salvage yard in the past.

Anyone have just the lens indicator from a factory 3 speed automatic column?

I don't want to buy a whole column just a reasonable price on the indicator lens with or without the bezel but lens must be in good condition.

Thanks, Mark

the filling station had nice repos mike

Thanks Mike but I could find only the powerglide one after locating their website. I did find another place that had the 3 speed lens but they are just not quite original with the numberical #'s being as large as the letters. Still looking for a good used one that maybe someone went with an overdrive lens or something else.

Do you need original, or after-market?

**yelmer** · 03-26-2012, 08:59 AM

I will check the book they sent me i thought i saw a l1 -l2 d r p lens and let you know take care mike

**HOTFUN** · 03-26-2012, 10:24 AM

Either would be fine but I would like to have one that looks just like the original .
The repo I saw, the P R N D L2 L1 were the same size where the original's have the numerals 2 and 1 about 1/2 the size to the right of the L and lined up across the top edge. Don't have a picture handly of an original but most of you have seen one of these original 3 speed columns listed here.
Thanks Mark

Check with Steve (GMCNUT). I talked to him a few days ago and he said he had one or was getting one.

This what your looking for. I think the truck shop sells them.

**HOTFUN** · 03-27-2012, 10:05 PM

Yep. Is any of these available? Thanks, Mark

I just checked my 66 powerglide indicator and those three lens are actually different and are from a 67 to 70. The 66 lens and chrome housing had the indicator light up in the chrome housing and the dial was slightly smaller and flat across the top of the dial. I had a 67 and laid them side by side. There is no real way to use the 67-70 lens or even the lens and housing and make it work well. The 67 also had the fiber light in the pointer.
So still looking for one from a 1966 20 series turbo hydramatic. Thanks, Mark

Someone must have a lens from a OD upgrade? I'll pay a good price for an original with good paint.
