  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    That's definitely the Chevy style pad.

    The guy who gave it to me stated he got it off my 4speed car in 82. He looked up the parts manual before he gave it to me and stated this is not a buick part but it was on the car. He said it was original to the car as far back as 76. The car had only 44k on it. I will keep the original and if i ever get judged than i would put on the black rubber pad. I just like to keep it as it was born.

    Anyone have a clue to the origins of this pad? I pulled these pedals from a '70 GS455 convertible. Car was originally an automatic, so I know these weren't original.

    Guess I'd better read through this thread as I was pouring over the assy manual last night figuring out what I don't have yet pieced together for my '70 350 4-sp & checking out the differences/similarities between 350 & 455 cars. I think between what I have and what's reproduced I'm in pretty good shape but I'm sure this thread will be an interesting read nevertheless.

    Not sure if this is the right place but its worth a shot- Do other GM A body center consoles for manual cars fit in an A body buick? Ex. can you use a chevelle center console in a skylark/gs?

    Will depend on the year. The 64-67 chevelle has the offset shifter like ours. The 68 and later use a centered shifter. BOP are all offset

    great stuff thanks. Thinking about a TKX in a sklyark and not willing to pay what people want for the buick consollette. Does anyone make a repro of that thing?!
