I’m looking for the 2 top pieces of chrome for a manual shift console 65-69. Driver quality ok, just not anything really rough. Thx

 

The Parts Place is advertising those two pieces now with a price listed so they might actually have them. You rarely see these parts used for any kind of reasonable price anymore, regardless of the condition.

For years TPP would list things like repro F heads with "call" for a price. I was told they were gauging interest with those listings

Hmm, I had not seen those pieces for sale. Be aware that the top plate is Plastic, and the console door is Pot Metal like the orignials. They do look like nice pieces though.

 

Nice catch. I didn't notice that.

Before they repro'd the console bases you used to be able to buy the two pieces for next to nothing. I had at least four top plates at one time and a lot of broken console base pieces

 

Yep Plastic.

 

I assembled a console with PP's repro base, and mounting brackets, using OEM top pieces, flocked the box, painted it to match, turned out a very nice result, better than trying to repair a cracked OEM fragile console which I did prior to the repros. I also purchased top pieces for a 64-67 Pontiac A body console they were plastic, using my original base, as I did not want to drill holes in the original piece for a tach, they fit fine, however the pot metal is much more substancial than the plastic, and there is a big price difference between the two types of repro parts.

 

Parts still needed.

 

I secured the top plate and door, still need Rocket emblem that covers gauge hole. Don’t want the repop. Anyone ???
