Column Shift Indicator Help
 

I have a 1970 C10 with a TH400 and non-tilt column.

I need to replace the Indicator Pointer Housing and found that. I also noticed that the letters are practically wore off on the lens. However, I cannot find a lens listed for my truck anywhere. Below is the LMC catalog page. Does the 1970 model matter if it has tilt? I have checked a number of retailers and find similar listings.

Another possible option, has anyone tried painting the letters back on the lens? Seems like it needs to be a special paint.

I have run into the same thing. My 70 needs the little pointer. I got the one shown from LMC and it just wasn't right. As I recall, the ears that hold it to the column were too narrow. It then broke in a short time.

I see them for the tilts and other years but the 69-70 w/o tilt........... ARGH You may want to look through the for sale area.

Do not use the tilt lens, it is only for tilt columns

Longhorm70, thanks for the heads up on the pointer.


Anyone know if the three speed listings here would work?

They look right in the picture.

DEFINITELY worth contacting them to see if they fit factory columns.

They list NPD as a dealer of their products, and I happen to work 5 minutes from the NPD in Charlotte so I will take my parts in and see if we can't get to the bottom of this. I will share what I find out.

It seems #6 is what you want. I have a whole set in good condition if you can't find a new one.

The reason I didn't want to use their pointer is it uses doublesided tape to keep it on.
