Wtb- speed manual steering column
 

Need a 3 speed manual steering column for a 85 1/2 ton truck. HELP!!

Re: Wtb----help
 

How soon do you need one?
Im converting mine to tilt here soon.

Re: Wtb----help
 

Not a tilt. just a standard column?
I have that in my '87 and it is going to be surplus, but as said before, it might be a while.
If your not in a hurry I could set you up.

My best buddy has a repair shop with a customers truck out of business do to a steering column lock issue. What's wierd is that it is a 3 speed manual trans column in 85! Somehow I thougt GM gave up on column 3speeds earlier then that!!
So guys, I guess the first one available will get our $$. When I actually saw the truck with the problem---I couldn't believe why the guy just didn't convert to a floor shift as it is a total POC!! To each his own i guess!! Huck

Huck,
you can try Bill at Vintage Chevy Truck out here in california. (510)651-5874. he usually has them.

Thanks Jerry, I'll give them a shout and see what they have. Huck

still looking

Re: Wtb----help
 

might widen your search as i think he could use one from an earlier truck maybe back to 73.

Re: Wtb----help
 

While it might physically fit, starting in either '84 or '85 they moved the wiper control from the dash to the column. So unless a person wanted to go through all the effort of converting their wiper controls, or just doing without, it would be best to stick with an '85+ piece.
Just an FYI.

thanks for the correction..now huck and i both know.

Still looking for that 3 speed manual column for an 85 truck~~~~anyone got one they can spare??

Re: Wtb----help
 

Still lookin---that california yard didn't have any ~~. I checked the local salvage yards and pull a part--no luck so far!

Re: Wtb----help
 

All the ones I know are still in use, and they won't let me yank them for you.

Re: Wtb----help
 

i didnt know they still used 3 speeds in 85 :lol: i sent a 74 to the junkyard last fall that had a 3 speed column in it :(
