I was hoping if someone could tell me if there was a tilt for the 4-speed (floor shifter). I know someone interested in selling one?
Thanks Dan

There is such a thing....they show up now and again......

Aarons72s · 10-09-2006, 08:12 PM

Yes there out there, not the easiest thing to find. Good luck finding one.

I have seen the tilt column with the shift lever, on ebay, from time to time. I think I would like to swap this column for the shifter on the post.
Thanks Dan

Here is one, not mine by the way. egay # 120038392563 and 200034482774

A true 4 spd tilt is one of the rarest options out there for the 67-72's. So if you can score one, grab it. They are great trade bait, even if you don't want it. The automatics are fairly common.

In comparison they are fairly common.
In all reality, a real truck tilt isn't exactly common place.

Why not just go with an IDIT column? Steel ones are only $320 and the ones listed on ebay went for $309. I would think that a brand new column guaranteed to fit would be much better. RBSauto sells the IDIT for 320.

Summit was cheaper than that for a flaming river column when I bought mine a few months ago.

I picked one up a swap meet for $75 its a true truck tilt not a van tilt for a floor shift truck. Anyone have any idea what its worth?

Rod · 10-12-2006, 07:17 AM

You paid a good price.

Huskerboy2 · 10-12-2006, 03:10 PM

I just listed another one of mine. It's the last of my extras.

Sorry, just realized you weren't really asking for one.

**uncle** · 10-12-2006, 03:53 PM

The only thing more rare than a f/s tilt is a buyer. Just my experience anyway.
