Van tilt column

When using a van tilt column what after market or shorter factory shift lever will work with it?

Re: Van tilt column

Any 67-72 tilt lever (van, blazer, truck) will fit the factory Van tilt column. If you go to a smaller diameter steering wheel, look for a nice van lever lever so it doesn't stick way out beyond the wheel like the truck levers do.

Re: Van tilt column

Looks a little funny having 5 inches of shifter sticking out past the wheel.

I'm thinking it was 77-ish when the vans went to the shorter shifter IIRC
