Steering Column ID ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found this column in a 70 4x4 in the junkyard Friday. I knew it looked a bit different but got it anyway. It only has
P N R D L so it has to be something with a power glide?

It's a tilt column, which was a cool find. Not sure about the D L, they didn't put a power glide in 4x4's or th400's so it had to be a th350 with a different lens. Nice find, how much did you give for it?

I'm not sure but think that might be a column out of a 68 passenger car.

I'm not sure what year they put a collapsbile column in trucks but the 70 I had had a solid column.

I'd say it is a good and desirable find though.

The tilt lever is a generic GM car piece, but I don't recognise the straight shifter. That almost liiks like something out of an old Continental or something.
The shift indicator lens coulda just been slapped on there, either way, even if you can't get it in your truck without hacking, you can sell it pretty easy to some street rod guy... they gobble those things up like crazy.

The knobs on the levers are definately Pontiac. Maybe a 67-68 Firebird GTO GrandPrix.

I found some pics of a 68 Camaro tilt and it looks close, so maybe Kevs right 67-68 firebird.

Wont go in my Blazer aready have a factory one. Just got it in a package deal when i was getting some junkyard parts.

Thanks for the help.

That is a 68 Pontiac tilt.. All of the innards from the shift lever collar up are the same as our truck tilts..
