Restore console to original location 1970 Cutlass

Here is the center console and all the pieces I could find. Besides the cable and mounting hardware, what am I missing? My buddy I got the car from thinks he may still have some stuff in his attic, so if I know what I am missing, I can look for it.






Also, anyone know what this mystery piece goes to?



Thanks all!

The smaller blue plastic piece is not for the console. It is a lens for the courtesy lights under the dash.

Ah ok, it just happened to be in the same tub with all this other stuff. I assume the green doesn't go with the console either and is something for the dash too?

I can't see if the plunger switch for the light is attached to the wiring. It screws in at the top rear of the inserts and helps hold them together and in place.

Also, the rectangular piece between the shift indicator (PRNDSL) and the blue shifter slide plate(?) is actually one of the dash lamp lenses.

The smaller blue green one is the one I was talking
about. The long blue one goes under the shift indicator.

Thanks for all the replies. Now I need to know if anyone has a drawing of how this console/shifter/etc. and its associated hardware is supposed to mount and if there is a source for the shifter cable and cable mount to trans.

The column bowl to shifter cable linkage hardware is all missing too. Is there a source for all this hardware? How similar is it to the Gbody stuff? I have piles of that stuff...

Did the car originally have a console? If so, there should be mounting holes in the floor pans that will make some of the installation fairly straightforward.

Yes, this is the original console to the car. My buddy had pulled it originally to redo the interior and then went with a B&M Megashifter (yuk!). I want to put this original back in, but like I said, the cable, the cable mount to the trans and the column bowl linkage hardware is long gone.
