Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
Here's the ebay ad Item number: 260895159753
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260895159753...#ht_500wt_1202 I saw the ad and sent a message letting him know due to the longer shaft it was a van or motor home tilt. I have one that looks identical with the correct wiring and neutral safety switch installed and it came from a van.... Here was his response.... Quote:

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
I stated it also could be from a motorhome and did note that the wiring was correct... but I guess he missed that part in his response?

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
The motorhome tilt is almost if not the same shaft length as the trucks[as far as shaft length is concerned]. I have two motor home tilts and a van tilt. You can definatly tell the difference in the two just at a glance

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
Thats a motorhome tilt. You can tell by how long the center shaft is sticking out the bottom of the column. WES

Glad we cleared that up ![]() All I know is I've never seen or heard of a truck with a longer shaft at the end (which would mean a shorter intermediate shaft. Anyone?

Johnathan,
This column looks to be a van column that somone tried to converted to a truck. Van columns always had the longer shaft. Full size motorhomes tilts had the shorter truck shaft but with a dogleg bend on the shift arm at the base of the mast jacket. |

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
But NO trucks ever came with the longer shaft, right? (the seller is claiming it came off a 1970 truck)

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
He states that he bought it from someone else that claimed it came from a 70 CST; this way he removes himself from blame when the buyer realizes he just bought a tilt that will not bolt right in to his truck. This dude knows exactly what he's got and is playing dumb.

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
What's annoying is ebay doesn't have a report option for incorrect item representation....

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
Thanks for the picture! Hopefully this thread will be good info for people looking at these in the future so they don't pay 3-400 for a van tilt...

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
I also informed him that his "guy" at the swap meet was wrong and to save himself a headache and revise this item. I doubt he will but you never know.

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
I thought 70 was the first year for a Truck tilt? He says he's seen the longer shafts on 67-70 trucks????

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
This is the message I sent him.
'This is NOT a truck tilt column! Whatever that "guy" at the swap meet told you was wrong. It is in fact a van tilt column. You need to revise your listing to save you a headache later if someone buys this assuming that it will bolt right into their truck because it won't.' And this is what he sent back. '.' Haha I guess he has bids so he doesn't care.

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
I have both and will include pics I took today to try and clear this up. The colomns are the same TUBE length the one in high build is a van tilt that I have shaved the "humps" on the top so that I could put in in either my T-5 swap or the C-60 dually truck I am planning with a 454 t400

Re: Not mine...tilt on ebay...truck or van???
Here you go. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=404906
I sold to my buddy a while back and he drove it daily for a while...then sold it a few months later when he got tight on cash... I wanted to buy it back but didn't have the cash at the time. He ended up selling it for less than I sold it to him for (even though he put in a nice stereo and a lot of new parts into the drivetrain/suspension) and then the guy that bought it immediately re-listed it on craigslist for 4K higher.... it ended up selling for around what I originally sold it to my buddy for... talked to a friend of the new owner (he was over buying some parts for his truck)....he said his friend's plan is to re-paint it ![]()
