Shift indicator pointer...can't find 68
I busted the pointer off of my column yestrday. I was engaged in an extreme act of absolutely nothing, just one of those things that happens. Anyway the tail broke off as well as one of the nubs that snaps into the column. Qhy can't I find this for a 1968 model? I see 69-70, 71-72 but no 68. What gives? Anybody have a source for me? Thanks.

I believe the auto transmission pointers are the same from 1967-1970. The LMC catalog also indicates that... if you have confidence in LMC.

Re: Shift indicator pointer...can't find 68
I just saw LMC's section on this. How can they be the ONLY ones to have different model years? Corn-fused.

GMC Paul says that no one makes it. LMC has it, but who knows what it looks like.... I wish LMC was more descriptive, it's often like ordering from JC Whitney in 1989. Send your money and hope the part that arrives is decent quality. To pay for shipping and then pay to ship back would really stink.

Re: Shift indicator pointer...can't find 68
Good point. I can see that the little black and white drawing LOOKS like the shape of my indicator. I believe that they used a traditional bulb in place of a fiber optic cable on the later years, that is the only difference I can identify. I'll grab a pic.

Re: Shift indicator pointer...can't find 68
An update in case anyone is interested. I purchased the unit below despite it not being listed for a 68. The picture looked right so I took a gamble. It fit perfectly. My fiber optic plastic thingy (for lack of a better term) slipped right in, the tabs fit in the factory opening and the screw lined up great.
I'm not sure why the don't list this for 67 and 68's but it works if you need one. I cant imagine what the difference is or if there even is one. Looks like LMC is the only one who has their fitment years correct, I just didn't trust buying something based off of a fuzzy black and white drawing. http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...rts/14836.html
