WTB ....79 Steering Column

[Castiron9]

I have a friend looking for a steering column for his 79...automatic..1/2 ton truck...Any one have one..Thanks

[Twisted78SS]

I do. Are you looking for a tilt on non-tilt?

[Castiron9]

I believe he has a non tilt right now...I will ask him today and get back with you.What do you have and idea on condition and price...Thanks............

[speed]

If he wanted to change it to a floor shift I have a non tilt manual collumn with the keys.

I have a non-tilt column shift that is black and in very good condition, i took it out of my 78 pickup last year to install a tilt. It is complete with keys and the wheel if you need that too. I can take some pics if you want. As for price, $50.00 sound reasonable?

I will be heading up to the Sea-Tac area in a few weeks and could arrange a meet, or I could ship it if you need it earlier.

Let me know when you can,

thanks,
Drew

50.00 sounds reasonable.Like I said it's for a fellow co-worker that did not know about this board..Pictures would be nice,and I am pretty sure that he did not care if it was tilt or not,just wanted a nice,decent column since the one on there now is pretty beat up.Also you said you pulled it out of a 78,I am assuming that it will fit his 79...Thanks again..I will let him know tomorrow that I have a lead on one..Thanks again and will be waiting on pictures.

Here are some pics of the column. I took the wheel off to remove the indicator lever and get a peek inside. It looks fine. I do have a steering Wheel if he wants it.

It will fit the 79 no problem.

Drew as of now I would say yes,he will want it,and the price is fair.I will see him tomorrow at work and show him the pictures.I am sure he will be happy with it.Will let you know,and I would say that he could wait till you were in our neck of the woods...Take care and Thanks again....P.S. I see you are friends with Mark..."Livrat"I actually live really close to the shop where he works on his trucks.He actually helped me out last week,with a steering column issue on my Longhorn.Great guy...

[Twisted78SS]

Small world huh... He is actually who I will be heading up to see, as I just made a deal with him for one of his Blazers and I am bringing lots of goodies up for it.

As soon as I get a firm date, I will send it to you, and we can make some plans to meet.

Drew found out today that he needs a manual column..Sorry my fault will talk to you when you come down and see Mark.

[Twisted78SS]

It just so happens, I have one in my sons 75. It is still in the truck, but I have a tilt he wants me to install, so I guess I had better do that. I will have pics of it available by early next week.
