Ordered a refurbished unit from a guy on ebay for 225.00 and bolted it right in

when I was shopping for one, there was atleast one on ebay at all times.

I hope he sends the shift lever with the column... If not GM discontinued them a while back and they are no longer available.... Not even through LMC.. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I got mine for $40.00 from a wreaking yard. 1978 Chevy van fits perfect. You have to adjust the shaft by tapping with a hammer on the end to collapse the shaft. They were designed to collapse upon impact and the shaft has small plastic inserts that will give away as to adjust for lenght because the shaft is about 3 inches too long.
Opps, sorry Southpa, I should have opened up your article. But that was the way I did mine. very easy install.

I'd just like to clarify, its NOT my article. Unfortunately, I didn't have a name to go with the website whenever I posted it. Right after reading your post I emailed the owner and asked for his name. From now on I will give credit where credit is due.
