Factory tilt columns
Maybe a stupid question but, did 67-72 pickups come with factory tilts? If so, what years and models?

Re: Factory tilt columns
69 - 72 acording to the books, but a few ppl on here have seen 68's with it listed on the SPID.

Re: Factory tilt columns
I had a 1970 GMC, loaded w/shoulder harness & AT tilt. That is the only pre-71 I have ever seen in 20+ years. Probably a real late 70 that got the new tilt installed just before they came out as a regular option.

Re: Factory tilt columns
the best way is to have about 500$ to spend and get one from the parts board.. when they come available
or convert a van tilt to work... i think vans til '78 or so will work. |

Re: Factory tilt columns
I've used motorhome tilts up well into the 80's for donors. They swap straight in, like a van column.

Re: Factory tilt columns
To Morgsie: Sorry your from Canada! But anyway what I meant was this guy said he would take 50.00 for this supposed factory column but I want to make sure it is the right one before I pay him.

Re: Factory tilt columns
50 is a decent price for a van column, so you'll come out ahead either way.

Re: Factory tilt columns
Ive got a van column but it needs to be rebuilt. Thats why I want to get a factory column. Also the factory column would have all of the right grommets and seals on it.

Re: Factory tilt columns
I'm from Canada too... and not sorry about it.
![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1195182103 Note factory key points, like location of neutral safety switch on lower portion of column and the short lenght of splined shaft sticking out the bottom. My Dealer data book from 1970 shows an option of steering comfortilt dated in January 1970 but also say will advise price and availability and optional transmision had to be ordered. So no three speed tilts. Not sure if there were further updates to the data book as the year progressed.
