hey big olds fans, im new to the big olds scene.... i usually only mess with late 60's and early 70's muscle cars.... so i dont know much about the parts interchange, motor or body.... could use some help with this build.. if anybody has time...lol....

first question is my car has a 371 engine with a 2 speed tranny, what is the tranny a slim jim or something???

does anybody sell interior kits for this car?

thanks for your time.. laters willie

 

Welcome to our website. We look forward to seeing pictures of your car.

If your car has the 2 speed transmission it isn't the Slim Jim. I believe the early Oldsmobile 2 speed was the Jetaway (but don't quote me on that). IMHO, any transmission is better than the Slim Jim.

If you want an interior kit for your car you can buy one from Kanter. You might also consider ordering from this company:

Kanter has excellent prices and customer service. I've ordered from them before. The automotive interiors company has friendly staff; however, I decided against ordering their product because I had a local shop redo my interior. I thought that one of the "do-it-yourself" interior kits would end up looking sort of bogus.

If you want "original" interior cloth then you will have to order the cloth from SMS and have an interior shop stich new seat covers for you. I don't know of a company that does pre-made "original" seat covers for the B body.

 

The shift quadrant should be P NDSL R which in 1960 is a four-speed Jetaway HydraMatic. If it is only working thru two speeds something is not right. These things have "pronounced" shifts thru all four speeds and are generally bulletproof.

 

alright... thanks for the info guys... im glad interior is available, and i dont have a crappy slim jim...lol.... laters willie
