WTT for manual tilt column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71 super · 01-06-2008, 06:03 AM

I would really like to have a manual tilt column, more than my speed alert or auto tilt or a set of 68-71 BB engine stands. I f you are interested in a trade PM me so we can work out the details.

why not convert your auto tilt? I have only seen a few man tilts and they were $$$.

71 super · 01-06-2008, 12:51 PM

It is a nice tight factory auto truck tilt not van, still has the GM sticker on the lower portion of the tube even, just hate to cut it up. If I could find M/T upper column parts I might convert it over, but it is too nice or that right now.

**jerry moss** · 01-06-2008, 03:41 PM

maybe you can sell the original auto tilt and buy a van tilt to convert to a manual tilt. i used to have all the goodies to make a 4 speed tilt out of an auto column but traded them to bill at vintage chevy truck out here in fremont ca.

otsenre · 01-06-2008, 04:53 PM

A friend of mine has one. He will not want to trade, but I am sure he will sell. Let me go by there tommorrow and get details.

Are you interested in a new Flaming River floor shift tilt?

**special-K** · 01-06-2008, 06:10 PM

I`m either buying a Flaming River or making one from a van tilt.How hard is it to convert?

msgross · 01-06-2008, 08:06 PM

I did see a few different ways to convert.... one welded and the other purchased a plastic sleeve column. I wouldn't convert an original auto truck tilt but am going to so a van tilt... I bought the collar parts for it of the board here...

**special-K** · 01-07-2008, 05:26 AM

I have a van tilt I want to convert.

**jaros44sr** · 01-07-2008, 06:08 AM

LMK when you guys, get around to working on your tilts. I have a floor shift upper column pc. that I have to swap out. Not sure what work is involved, just have some disassembly pics.

Hijack off

Frank i would like to stay with the original theme on the truck. But those flaming river pieces of yours are really tempting. Iwill have to think about that. PM me some prices. Thanks

Would you be interested in selling the auto tilt you have? I have no trade. Just a one owner, all original, '71 GMC LB that I'm planning to restore as soon as the barn (garage) is completed. This site is my first, and best source for information so far. Just lurking.........and learning.

71 super · 01-16-2008, 02:20 PM

I have spoken to Kevin and plan on buying his. I will keep you in mind if I decide to sell the auto column, but do not want to sell it right now. Thanks 71 super
