Advice on aftermarket steering column
Hey all,
Looking for advice on an aftermarket steering column for my 66 C20. Anyone have a preferred brand that fits/works well? My original column was pretty worn, and the gear lockout plate was pretty much flat. Want to go with a Tilt if possible. Doesn't need to be chrome, just reg. steel or aluminum will do. Will run my new harness into it. Thanks all! |

Re: Advice on aftermarket steering column
Your best bet is to us either Ididit or Flaming River. Those two are American made and have a very good rating. Many of the lower price ones have serious flaws and in cases, down right dangerous. There are a few threads on this, with the link to a very good document that did a bunch of testing.

Re: Advice on aftermarket steering column
Awesome, thanks for the info. What are people using in terms of swaps from junk yards from later-model vehicles? If I swap front suspension from a 86 C10, would it be easy to take the column and box with it?
Thanks again! |

I used one from a 91 suburban (same at 73-87 pickup) also used the engine, trans, wiring harness, fuse panel (the electrical system was plug and play this way including plugging into the wheel) only had to rewire the instrument cluster.......Kieth
