GA WTB..60-66 steering column shaft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72freak · 12-31-2010, 08:21 PM

Im not sure if they will all cross over, but I have a 66. I swapped to a floor shift column and my steering shaft is worn at the bottom where it goes in the column tube. Anyway...I need a new one....let me know what you have.

Tommy454 · 12-31-2010, 09:19 PM

I have one out of a 63. PM me if it will work for you.

It should...get me the length and lets make sure its not worn down. I will post a picture of what has happened to mine.

Thanks

**ScottH** · 01-01-2011, 12:23 AM

I have one from an auto column in good shape, if interested just LMK, can provide pics.

72freak · 01-01-2011, 03:30 PM

Mine measures 54"...does anyone know if there is a difference in lenght over the years or for an automatic verses and 3 speed?

**ScottH** · 01-01-2011, 05:12 PM

Just checked mine and its 54" in length also, some slight wear at bearing location but not much at all.

jonzcustomshop · 01-02-2011, 09:15 AM

63-66 should all be the same

Tommy454 is coming up with 55.5 inches from his 63 and mine and SCOTTH is 54"

Tommy454 · 01-04-2011, 10:16 PM

The difference could be the standard vs. automatic; although I am not sure why.

Anyone ever heard of cutting and "bondoing" a column shift to convert to a floor shift? If so how well does it work, what should I look out for? I want a tilt steering column for my 61' but it seems all the junk yards here in my town have 3 on the tree columns, yeah "wa wa". Thanks

Tommy454 · 01-05-2011, 04:49 PM

You should be able to find a tilt column from a van up to 1978 I believe for a direct bolt in.

72freak · 01-08-2011, 06:44 AM

TOMMY454...your arrived yesterday...THANKS. Im going to wait till I get SCOTTH's and see what we have here and post my findings.

72freak · 01-10-2011, 08:52 AM

Im still hunting a correct length shaft....from what we have seen so far it looks like I need a 64-66 shaft. I do have one promissed but have not seen it yet so if anyone else has one please let me know...I need to get this truck back together and out of its stall!

Thanks

lucifer · 01-10-2011, 08:44 PM

Have you thought about taking your old one to machine shop- having them weld and then turn down the wear spot?
