New Flaming River Floor Shift Tilts: The Best for Less!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PICKMUP** · 08-06-2009, 09:26 PM

I just "scored" a few of these new Flaming River stainless floor shift tilt columns at great prices and I am passing it along. Check out the combination of billet steel u-jount that I came up with to use the stock intermediate shaft and save lots more...no need for splined shaft (saves $100) and no need for stainless intermediate shaft (saves another $100+).

These columns come with the new smooth molded arms and 3yr warranty.

I am selling these few (3) for $375 EA and that does include the billet ujoint. I will ship them for $20 EA.

You use your existing OEM intermediate shaft. Just pull the cover and cut it off one inch from the end. It still maintains the original collapsing feature and you can even cut it shorter, if you would like to move the column down and get the steering wheel further away from you.

I don't expect to get these double discounts again!!! (1-18-10) But I just did get another nice discount and I'll share it!

Here's a better look at the OEM shaft cut...

**PICKMUP** · 08-07-2009, 09:52 PM

I see Classic Parts of America just started offering Ididit columns...You may want to take a look for comparison. My Flaming River AT chrome & stainless is on sale for about $100 less & includes the shift indicator.

**PICKMUP** · 08-15-2009, 10:08 PM

I now only have two left at these SALE PRICES...

VA72C10 · 08-15-2009, 10:42 PM

Is that a polished or paintable column?

Do you have any more of the U-joints? If so, would you sell separately and how much? Thanks!

BCOWANWHEELS · 08-15-2009, 11:17 PM

My stock tilt column will only go straight or pivot down. Will these have upward tilt to them or do they just pivot like oem tilt column ?

The floor shift models shown in pics are "paintable" brushed finish stainless steel.
The ujoint is included with this column, and not sold separately.

msgross · 08-16-2009, 07:22 AM

wow, that's a good deal... If I hadn't purchased everything for my tilt i'd be all over it..

ttt for you though, they'll sell fast.

"Check out the combination of billet steel u-jount that I came up with to use the stock intermediate shaft and save lots more...no need for splined shaft (saves $100) and no need for stainless intermediate shaft (saves another $100+)."

Do you still have any of these left? If so, do these columns come with this billet steel u-joint?
