O/T: '71 Chevelle T/Signal Lever Needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ironhorse** · 10-29-2004, 08:11 PM

I know this is not a Chevelle board but seems several of us 67-72 truck nuts are also into the "A" body GM Chevelles. I recently purchased/partial traded for a floor shift, tilt column for next project, '71 Chevelle SS. It did not have any of the tilt or turn levers or the 4-way flasher button/knob. I have an original '71 styled tilt lever but have so far struck out finding a nice original turn signal lever. Local yards either have no columns in the vehicles or are not willing to sell just the levers from a column. (Don't blame them, just wish someone hadn't kept the knobs from the tilt I purchased ) Does not need to be NOS or show, just nice driver quality with no chrome bubbling or rust. If need be I can post a pic of the tilt lever so that you can compare with what you have. Will purchase or trade 67-72 parts. Also need the 4-way flasher knob. Held in by a phillips head screw. Long post I know but thanks for any help.

You can use one from a mid 70's truck. I had a 72 Chevelle and wanted a tilt column. I took a column from a 77 4spd Blazer and shortened it 3 inches and you couldn't tell it from the Chevelle column...

Thanks for the replies. I stopped at a 'yard today and found one but it is not really in the best of shape. Price was good, $3.00 but still looking for a nice clean example. Maybe because this one was laying in a box of stuff is the only reason I got it. Had several on various columns that had been pulled but did not want to sell just the lever. Keep me in mind for a nice one.
