looking for a turn signal handle for a tilt column
 
been trying to get back to work on my 69 suburban after 8 years or so and now i can't find my original straight steering column, i figured no big deal since i have a 4 speed tilt column for it. well now i can't find the box the tilt was shipped in either and the turn signal handle was/is in the box where ever it is. i ordered one from LMC and it's not for a tilt. does anyone know where i might be able to buy one for a tilt column ?

Here's a reproduction one.

I put one of these on my truck, and the bend is noticeably straighter than the regular non-tilt version. There are some photos of it in post #9 here:

Was going to suggest this myself. Classic parts also has the shorter van tilt shift lever that will work with a 15" steering wheel on the stock tilt column. I have one installed on my 72 tilt.

Jerry, I just picked one up at LMC yesterday & it was fine ?

Although if you buy enough from any vendor you will get mispackaged, poor quality etc...

the package was labeled for tilt but it was curved too much, I sent a picture to Bill at vintage chevy truck up in bend oregon and he sent me a picture of the correct one, you could definitely see the difference. if my dumb a$$ could find the box my 4 speed tilt was shipped in it's probably in it still but it's been so long since i've torn the suburban down i can't even find the straight column i took out 8 years ago:no::dum::banghead::cuss::fry:
