Today's score! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went and picked these parts up today for the Ramp Rat.
New dash pad used tilt wheel and heater box assembly.
All for $135.00

I need some help on the tilt though. Does it look like a truck are is it a van that has been modified? The guy I got it from says its factory truck.

One word on your score ...

Andy4639 · 01-11-2017, 07:52 PM

Here are some measurements on it.
Over all length is like 38" 1-2 pictures. That's end of shaft to the steering wheel end.
3-4 pictures bottom bearing to bottom of top collar 26".
Anybody see anything that would say it's not a truck. Doesn't really matter but would like to know for sure one way are the other.
Also need to know how to get the 4 way switch out and replace it with a good working one.

Van column. The length of the steering shaft gives it away.

That's what I thought also. Oh well it's still a good deal and it will bolt in I hope with no problems.

**leddzepp** · 01-11-2017, 08:10 PM

It will work perfectly, just need to collapse the lower steering shaft a bit

Andy4639 · 01-11-2017, 08:17 PM

Yea I'm trying to find the info now. I found a post by 'dmec' on this and wondering if he is still around. I want to replace the upper collar for a floor shifter one.

It will take some work Andy but it should make you a good one. Good deal on the package price too.
If I'm not mistaken there is info on the van tilts up in the faq.

Yea I think I found the info I needed. I'll try and post pictures as I go when I start on it. Tomorrow I have to go pick up 2 clusters I bought for $20.00 but they are just plain clusters no bottom gauges. But both work. So I get two good speedo and fuel gauges out of them.
I'm waiting on the gasket's for the heater box also so until it get here I'm just going to clean it up and paint it black I think.

Another thing you will have to do is to cut a new slot for the NSS. The van is about half way up the tube and the Pickup is down at the bottom....

It's red, that's probably why it was such a good deal. We all know red is an awful color.

Katrina/10 · 01-13-2017, 08:07 AM

The top outer cover is a steel sleeve that is pressed on the aluminum casting. To get it off you have to remove the tilt and turn levers, hazard knob, and tap it up from the bottom.

TwoFiftyShifter · 01-14-2017, 07:52 PM

I just put an 88-94 bench in my 71.

I love it. Very. Comfortable. Width is perfect.

Andy4639 · 01-14-2017, 08:33 PM

Now to find some wiper arm nozzles like on my 71.
