I sold to my buddy a while back and he drove it daily for a while...then sold it a few months later when he got tight on cash... I wanted to buy it back but didn't have the cash at the time. He ended up selling it for less than I sold it to him for (even though he put in a nice stereo and a lot of new parts into the drivetrain/suspension) and then the guy that bought it immediately re-listed it on craigslist for 4K higher....

it ended up selling for around what I originally sold it to my buddy for... talked to a friend of the new owner (he was over buying some parts for his truck)....he said his friend's plan is to re-paint it

I feel bad for asking now

I thought a van tilt was a pretty straight forward swap for our trucks??if you get one for a good price and arent worried about a 100% resto isnt it a good option?just asking since i dont want to get burned on one.

Pretty straightforward....especially one like this with the proper wiring and a neutral safety switch already installed. The main thing you would have to do is collapse the intermediate shaft (the piece that runs from the end of the column to the steering box rag joint)

It's just that van tilts are fairly common and generally go for 100-150 in nice condition...where a nice true truck tilt is 300-400....

Good thread.

I have a question: were all floor shift tilts from pickups?

ls1nova71 · 11-19-2011, 11:20 AM

They didn't make a floor shift van in the years they put tilts in them. Only manual trans vans were 3 on the tree.

Thanks, What about the motorhomes?

Livrat · 11-19-2011, 12:29 PM

Yes there were floor shift tilts in motorhomes, although I can not say what vintage or model. (I have one but it is about 5 inches shorter overall than a truck/van tilt)

VA72C10 · 11-19-2011, 03:55 PM

thanks for the info Livrat...looks like this is turning into a good faq

So why havent u moved?

I think Midlothian, Tx would be a nice place for u. Nice trees and rolling hills.

VA72C10 · 11-23-2011, 04:52 AM

at 234.80 right now shipped which is a little over what I think is fair market for the column....hopefully it doesn't go up much higher. I have seen guys on here selling show quality restored true truck tilt columns for around 450 shipped....

Back in 1990,when I had only seen a few trucks with tilts and didn't know anything about vans having similar columns or what the differences were,I bought a beautifully detailed van tilt from Gary Terry for $300. I had no problem figuring out on my own what it took to put it in my truck,it didn't have Comfortilt on the SPID anyway,it looked good,and I was happy. I did think it was shady for him to lead me to believe it was a truck tilt. I spent over $1,000 with him that day. Two things I learned,you need to know your stuff and buyer beware. There's not a whole lot of integrity out there.

VA72C10 · 11-25-2011, 07:03 PM

Sold for 295.55 shipped

Hope whoever got it is okay with it being a van tilt.
