Tilt Steering Column

I needed a new column for my 1970 truck, and saw several threads about a guy on here named Randy500. People posted how happy they were and I decided to give him a try. He could not have been nicer to work with. He found the column, rebuilt it, and shipped it to me. He really went to a lot of trouble to pack it really good in tons of bubble wrap and the column looks awesome.
This forum is a great resource of good people and I was happy to deal with him.
Im putting it in tomorrow morning and hope to be driving the truck friday after swapping in a 700R trans.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Tilt Steering Column

Finally finished the 700R4 conversion and the steering column went in without any trouble and worked great. Now my truck has a new trans and a tilt column. So nice to drive now.

I have one on the way to me in Australia from Randy.

He was great to deal with, I annoyed the life out of him with lots of questions, changed my mind on shipping and was a general pest, Randy still had it sent withing hours of being paid.

I to am doing a TH700 swap, into my C20 Longhorn. The only part I dont have yet is the tailshaft.

Re: Tilt Steering Column

Andy, you have pics of your truck? Sounds like my current build and would love to see it.

Andy, Wish I had your dedication to post so many photos through the build. You are the man, sir!

I am referring to the truck you describe in your signature with the LS motor. Do you have a build thread for that one?

Thanks,
Sorry but no not a build thread. When I built it I never took the time to photo it. Then after I started moding it I did though. But the threads are all over the place. Best I can tell you is use the search feature and put in Andy4639 and it will pull most anything I have done to it and the other trucks.
Are if you have face book you can go to my page. C-10 tour and look at all my pictures and mods.
