Is the custom cruiser built on the same platform as the 88/98s...
The Custom Cruiser was built on the same frame (same wheelbase) as the 98, which is 3 inches longer than the 88 wheelbase. But, yes, I would think the seats out of a '71 Custom Cruiser should drop right in to a '71 98 and most likely a '71 88 as well.
do you have a photo of yours, my interior is brown in my delta and reading the comments above about wheelbase suddenly im not sure if a CC colunm and a Delta column are the same length can you verify they are the same?
............... and reading the comments above about wheelbase suddenly im not sure if a CC colunm and a Delta column are the same length can you verify they are the same?
According to my Mitchell Domestic Interchange manual, all '71-'76 Olds full size car's (88, 98, CC wagon) steering columns interchange, with the same options (fixed, tilt, travel, cornering lights and, yes, Air Bags).
sounds good, im adding cornering lights to my 71 delta. is the column from a vehicle with cornering lights? If not i have to replace the turn signal switch too, what color is yours & how much do you want for it if its suitable for my vehicle?
thanks bigdooley, i think i'll get it if the price is right, all i need now to complete the task is a brown bottom section of the dash board, the section that has the glove box, mine has a crack & unfortunately the local vinyl repair man thats works mobile seems hesitant about my side of the villiage so i'll just find a used one
Unfortunately i have this section. Left side. But fear not, you said tan? I have a brown 72 lined up, with tan interior. It is in under over 2 feet of snow currently, and will take some work to get it from where it is, missing keys, flat tires, can't get my trailer past apron, (too narrow). I walked away from it, but due to people asking for parts from it, I'm gonna have to go get it, when conditions permit. Basically when the snow melts somewhat. The seats are shot & its a 2 door.
now imma have to go look & see if my car has a single piece unit like that or if its the one split into 3 sections like another one i saw from a 72 delta i saw for sale, i'll look today & let you know & yes the tan one is what i need to match & if you run into a decent looking dash clock i'd take that too
one last thing, i was told that the harness from the steering column that goes thru the firewall i may need to, in fact to make sure i have everything i can get the whole signal light wiring system from the bulbs to the steering column if you can get all of it
i looked at my dash, its split into 3 sections at the bottom, here you can see the crack right there in the middle at the bottom of the dash, also i could use two front ashtrays if they are from a non smoker vehicle
s a photo
im adding these cornering lamps And A tilt Wheel here to make this a better car all imma want after that is bench seats from a regency 98 to complete the task b4 summer
71-73 same dash. I will likely be dragging home a 71 98 when the snow melts some. I just can't get to it in this weather. There is a lot of snow on the ground and the car is in a yard I can't get my trailer in. It won't fit up the apron, or passed the gates. My tires where hitting the railroad tie retaining wall.
I need to dig it out, put air on the tires and hopefully find the keys they are supposed to be on the floor of the car. Then I can drag it out with the winch, & some chain or something. If I could have gotten my trailer in the yard I'd have had it here 3 weeks ago. Being a 98 its likely a tilt column, but the 71 98 I had had a standard column, so who knows I didn't look closely at the column.
Send me a PM w/ your # so I can text you pics. The car is in Wisconsin and I plan to get up there in mid March. The car is complete and the interior is all there... 455 TH400 Someone mentioned a clock... Its there too
couldnt remember if i sent u my # so you could text me those pics, its 402 708 4869...i guess i didnt know if you already had pics or if you would take some when the weather got better & you made your trip to pick up the vehicle.
Thanks guys I appreciate the well wishes.
We have testing available on site at my job. I decided to get tested because it was convenient.
It has been several months since I've been tested last, that was due to someone else testing positive in my location.
I am prone to bronchitis. I thought I had a mild respiratory infection, which is something I deal with every year. At no time did I have a fever, or experience loss of taste, so I was surprised at the positive result. I was tested Thursday afternoon 3/4/21, notified earlier today of results. (Sunday 3/7/21) If I'm being 100% honest, have been feeling tired lately. The fact that I get my temperature taken every 5 minutes it seems, every where I go, kinda made me not even consider it could have been covid. We have our temperature taken before we are allowed to punch in at work.
So I never had a fever. I have been feeling a little lazy, and tired if lm being completely honest, but I wouldn't categorize myself as feeling "sick". I think putting to much faith in temperature checking is a mistake, as apparantly not everyone will have the fever. I guess i should consider myself lucky im not in a hospital on a ventilator. Especially considering I had a double bypass 11 months ago.
Thanks again guys, and stay safe.
