77 4 speed tilt value question,help please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i found a 77 3/4 ton 2wd truck, with factory tilt, in a local wrecking yard. my nephew wants it for his 75 suburban. i have no idea as to the value of 73 and newer tilt columns, i see automatic tilts quite often but this is the first 4 speed tilt i've seen. any ideas on a fair price to pay for it, i don't want him to pay a crazy price for it and find out later that he got screwed. i didn't ask the yard how much they want for it, i wanted to have some idea of it's value first---sometimes wrecking yard people think they have the only one ever produced.

I paid 30 dollars for a automatic tilt column, then took parts from it and my old one to build one solid column, got some eletrical issues though, I need to get a new harness for it so the horn doesn't stay on all the time when there is a fuse in it, lol

Jerry, because of the rarity of both early tilts and the stick. it is easy WORTH $75-100. your not going to find one lying anywhere else. DAVE
