Tilt steering wheel/colume

I have a '69 chev c10. I'm considering putting a tilt wheel/colume in it. Any suggestions on what would fit and work with the least alterations? Thanks,,Bill

Re: Tilt steering wheel/colume

Get a factory rebuilt column from a guy like 70SHORTFLEET on the board and bolt it in, plug in the power wire, and you're done.

Or you could start with a Van tilt and make mods, shorten it, and so on, but I preferred the simpler and more accurate route of a factory unit.

IDIDIT also likely makes something, but we have no shortage of access to quality factory units, so....

Thumbs up Re: Tilt steering wheel/colume

I contacted him last night about doing mine. Once the tax money is in the bank he will be getting mine.
A complete rebuild with new turn signal and shaft. Mine is a van tilt.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
