WTB: Working automatic steering column... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**COBALT** · 02-08-2005, 01:27 PM

It's for my 1969 C20. 3spd TH400. My shifter is busted right now, and the thought of taking it apart to fix it has been difficult in the past due to available parts and how they go into the column. This column has never been right since I bought the truck, and I'm fuzzy on how some of the washers and bearings are supposed to go in.

I'd love to get my hands on a working column (minus the steering wheel) I could either get parts from, use as a model to fix my current one, or simply do a whole swap-in to replace my original busted one.

The indicator is ok, but I need a new pointer that the fiber optic plugs into. It's broke too.

I have an Automatic Column out of a 69 GMC that works and is complete. I sent you a PM

If you dont mind driving to Bellingham I have several. Can send pics if you want with prices.

Bellingham might as well be Denver as far as I'm concerned (maybe a bit cheaper to ship...).

Seriously, I'll only do a swap if the column is in great shape. I have an automatic column out in the parts shed that has all the parts, but it's been sitting in the rain for a while. Not cool. I'd be interested in what kind of shape they're in, what type of indicator, pointer, etc...

Also, mine's that "saddle" color. I doubt that matters, but I thought I'd throw that out.
