'70 Floor Console Assembly Replacement

[Willie Bifulco]

I guess replacement was inevitable. After 50+ years of service, I'm afraid it's time to consider changing it out. It's not that it looks all that bad, but several of the plastic anchor points have broken and some screws have nothing to tie to. I've done some plastic welding previously, but that never really worked all that well. Anyway, I can get one via OER, but want to get one as close to original as possible. Anyone have luck with this unit through OER, or possibly other vendors? TIA - Willie

I purchased an OER one for my 70 a few months ago. I’m happy with it. Had to get shifter tunnel and plate separate.

Yea, Summit is showing it's currently out of stock. Think it's an OER product as well.

That looks pretty good. Are you happy with the grain pattern? Similar/same?

I want to ad one to my 70 to replace the column shift. Does anyone have measurements as to where I mount the attachment towers to the tunnel.

Try Classic Industries or NPD.

The OER console is a excellent reproduction, indistinguishable from the original. I replaced my original broken console with one several years ago.
