Tilt steering column
I know this has been mentioned alot, but I didn't right down the info. That is what happens when you have part timers. I need to know what late model steering columns with tilt are a fairly easy swap. This will have an automatic on the floor not the column. I would go back to the seventy two tilt for our trucks, but I have already modified the painless wiring harness for a late model. The problem is the column I have is kinda out of sorts and it hits where the brake booster is supposed to be mounted. Thus I can not install the booster/master cylinder. Sorry to ramble guys. Wootdog

Other than the aftermarket columns ( like from Ididit), all I've ever seen in these trucks is the tilts from the 73-80 trucks... I remember seeing an article in Classic Trucks a few years back that detailed the process, it involved shortening the column much like the van tilts as I recall, but was basically a slam dunk...

any GM column from 87 and older will fit of course with modifications because of the firewall differences, ever considered getting a column out of a late 80's van pr RV with the newer wiring?

Mine has a tilt/telescopic from a 79/80 Caddy or Pontiac. (unsure which as it had a Caddy key and a Pontiac wheel) This had the shifter on the column but it was removed as mine is floor shift. The shifter nub is still there but that's what bandana's are for.
![]() And ugh! that reminds me...I just found out what my floor shifter is out of. A Ford Aerostar of all things! That's got to go. All this time, I wasn't sure what it came from but while in the junkyard, I was looking in vans and there it was...my shifter! Im thinking of building a floor shifter from scratch. Using my B&M star shifter and the stock floor shifter in my 72 Chevelle as a guide, I may make one myself. Would be a nice winter project...
