Default 76 console help
a friend called for my help but I really don't know any thing about shark interiors I know 65-67 very well. Someone in the past replaced the top plate and side vinyl console assembly in a 76 auto. but they left the HAVC controls lose. So now he sourced the bracket and now nothing fits. He sent me these pictures but I don't know more until Friday when I go look at it. But I hope you can make me look smarter

I would assume so. My friend told me the top plate said. Corvette America.

Found this pic from a blog where a guy was working on a 76. Appears to confirm the bracket is Ok so I would tend to agree with Greg.

Take some dimensions of the width of the existing console. Shout out to fellow forum members to provide dimensions from their cars and compare.
