Canada Van/RV Tilt column floor shift conversion sleeve - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Van tilt column floor shift conversion sleeve. Use a regular non key van/RV tilt column by trimming the shift arm at the bottom of the tube and swap on this sleeve. You could use a real 67-72 column shift tilt as well if you are brave. You will also need to fill the oval light bulb hole and screw holes in the upper sleeve where the PRNDL indicator was. This is something that took me a long time to come up with. It involved 3D scanning, 3D cad modelling and many many versions of the print in different materials to refine the part and its dimensions. They are 3D printed in carbon fiber filled nylon like the parts you see on car customizers TV programs. Very strong and very stiff. The pictures show it in as printed and primed versions ready to sand and paint. It fits the stock shift tube nicely and the stock snap ring retains it. I'll sell them in the as printed state for $100.00 Canadian / $70.00 US which will get you into a genuine GM quality floor shift tilt at a fraction of the price of an inferior aftermarket unit.

Are you saying this is all it takes to convert a column shift tilt to a color shift tilt?

You have to take a van column apart to put the truck rubber parts on it. When apart trim the shift arm off of the engine bay end of the silver inner shift tube if you want it gone. Install my sleeve sanded, prepped and painted as you please and then fill the light bulb and screw holes on the top sleeve where the PRNDL was. Just carefully weld or solder in a small patch, fill and paint. Done. My sleeve replaces the part where the lever and pointer lumps were. Nice smooth floor shift van tilt column on the cheap. Be in the first 2 buyers and I’ll give you deal. Do consider that there’s a bit of effort taking one apart and putting back together if it’s your first time.

Does this include the shift tube also?

Are all measurements the exact same size as the original part? If so I will take one
