Not very rare, but I give you $50.00 for both!!
Must have some dealing with him,,, eh!!!
I have a floor shift tilt in one of my 63' s. I originally bought this 63 as a parts car as it had been in a flood from the good ole Puyallup river and only wanted it as it was a factory 4 gear car and didn't even realize it had a tilt. Turns out it had the original 704 cased Muncie, the tilt, tach and a posi so 10 years later I still own that car and got the whole car for half of what the guy wanted. If anybody buys a tilt MAKE SURE you get the lower shaft also as its different!!

No power bucket's for chevrolet ,but i think they were for other gm lines in those years.
Is the flood 63 really rusty from the flood ,I know electrical would be junk but what about the body?
Body isn't that bad, motor was junk, trans and diff. where full of milky oil so flushed those out, replaced junk 350 that was in it with a 283 and replaced complete wire harness and is now a running driving but needing paint as its in primer car.
I believe its the turn signal lever opening in the column itself as one is round one is oval, I would go look at mine but my 63 is under wraps and tucked in a corner

I know that Pontiac offered a power drivers bucket in '63, and I know first hand that power buckets were available in the 1962 Cadillac DeVille. I also remember that the Olds Starfire had a power bucket seat option.
The column itself is a different size -the steering wheels in a 64 I think are larger than a 63 steering wheel were it mounts to the column
A 63 column is the same size as a 62 column (the 4 speed circular sections are the same )
