I finally installed all the interior. Here it is. —Billy

 

Great job!!! Billy!

 

Fantastic! That looks great. You did an awesome job on the upholstery. I hope mine turn out as nice as yours.

 

BIlly:
Did the door panels from Legendary have the slot pre-cut for the push-in fasteners or do you have to cut those yourself?
Thanks.
Rodney

 

Thanks guys. The legendary door panels come perforated for any application like cranks, electric buttons or if you want none at all. They make it easy and they look great. I also recommend you get the reassembled panels that Come with the curved metal top support, the chrome trim, and the vInyl stapled in. —Billy

 

Awesome interior! I'm taking notes, about to install a black deluxe interior just like that. May not be able to do the seats so nice but we will see.

 

Your new interior looks fantastic, well done. But I do have a question..............:

P-R-N-D-L? Does your 442 have a Jetaway instead of a TH400?

 

Hey Johnny, I replaced that shift indicator lens. I have a TH400. Did I put the wrong thing in?
Orlando, you can do the seat skins yourself. I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials to prepare for it. And if you mess something up the first time, you can remove the hog rings and try it again. —Billy

 

Rodney, the Legendary door panels have the U shaped cut outs to slide the mounting clips into. I took my old panels and compared them and found a few slots were slightly off. But i was able to nip out some of the cardboard to make the clips line up. Not a big deal at all. But good to use your old panels, if you still have them, for reference. —Billy

 

Okay for some reason when I bought the shift indicator lens from OPGI it just said for 68 442. It didn’t specify transmission. So I should have one that says P-R-N-D-S-L. I’ve ordered a replacement. Nice catch, thanks. By the way, what does the “s” stand for? —Billy

 

The “S” stands for “Second” gear.

 

The jetaway was a 2 speed trans i think availible in 68. The th400 is a 3 speed trans. D=3rd, s=2nd, l=1st

 

Upon further research you could only get the Jetaway transmission with a 350 Engine or L6. So no 442 would have that transmission. —Billy

 

Hey 442_72, I was just reading the cars of Oldsmobile book and they said in 1952 they added an added performance to the Hydramatic transmissions. The "S" on the automatic shift indicator stands for "Super range." It was "intended for hill climbing and a gentle brake on steep down grades."

 

That's correct, the "S" meant "Super" and not "Second". At least, it did in '69. My 442 (TH400) original owners manual states this clearly.
