Had my van tilt redone
 
last year while on vacation in FLA. I bought a tilt column that I found on the local Craigslist. turned out to be a van tilt. on this board I found fellow member 70SHORTFLEET. sent my tilt to him to be rebuilt. he shorten the shaft, painted the column and completely rebuilt the column. his workmanship is OUTSTANDING! I couldn't be happier. and to top it off, he shipped it to me in a heavy duty box with wooden block ends with a hole drilled for both end shafts.

thank you Les for a piece of art. Larry

I bought a cluster from Les, it was really nice except for a small problem with the speedo. He told me to send it to him I never have even touched the truck since then but I would sure buy from him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing that type of stuff done.
When I bought the cluster from him I didn't know he was on the board so that did not figure in the deal. Top shelf guy, Great work.

Having rebuilt my own tilt, it is much more involved than people realize. I have around $450 in mine including the tilt I purchased at a swap meet. The problem I found was locating the parts I wanted to replace. I had to source multiple vendors as I couldn't find a one stop shop for this. I would do it again but you need patience and some specialty tools. The members on the board that do this are certainly not over charging anyone.
