Motor home tilt = Truck tilt = Score ???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Oldest son went yarding today for a van tilt, found a 1974 stub nose motor home with body off so column was easy to get at. Switch wires were cut, and indicator bezel and pointer were gone, steering wheel cracked, so he got a real deal on it. Bearings and everything else seems tight.

Soooo, when he got it home, he thought it did not look like a van tilt, so we sat it alongside a regular auto coulmn and it sure looks like the same length as a regular truck column, neutral switch in correct position, just looks like the flasher button may be different - any major differences on motorhome coulmn ? did he get a real steal here ????

I've run a couple of motorhome tilts in my trucks over the years. Its a good place to score a tilt that most guys never even think about.
