Need Steering Column

Anyone had any experience with Classic Performance Products and their steering column? What about any other vendors for this item?

Re: Need Steering Column

Yes, I had one in my truck, it was a POS. Rather than try to sell it, it was such a POS, I tossed it in the trash. There's also a thread somewhere about the tilt ball failing and causing full steering loss.

Re: Need Steering Column

I had one, took it back out after reading about what a POS they are. Swapped in a Flaming River column.

CPP looked like a repro of stock, and fit well. I had issues with turn signal cam----could not get the springs to stay put and work to cancel the signal. Then I read an article on here about how bad they are made.

I still have it in a box because I paid too much to throw it out.
