A different kind of truck tilt---never seen this before - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PICKMUP** · 05-26-2007, 11:13 PM

Have you ever seen this tilt before? It is built for our trucks. No key, correct length, uses stock intermediate shaft...kind of cool! Really clean, simple hookup with Koogel shift linkage. Is it a painted Ididit?

If you want it, I will sell it for $300 + shipping and include the Koogel linkage.

Thats is differn't lookin. TTT for ya

retselgerg · 05-27-2007, 12:49 AM

Question did someone make a cover for the rear of it to make it appear stock, because i have an odd steering column much like this but mine doesnt look this bulky......let me know if ya find out what its from mine even came standard with the correct connector the guy at the swap meet swore it was from a 72 but i know it wasnt it...

Is it from a car? Impala or cadillac maybe.

That pic is sideways... in case anyone else is sleepyand sittin there looking at it wondering why the hell the linkage is goin to the carb?

yeah.... had me wonderin.

The linkage throws me- can't remember seeing it on a GM column. I wonder if the linkage isn't somebodys own idea. Otherwise, it looks like a '69 Caprice column to me. I bet it is a 7 position instead of a 5

linkage looks to be a lokar style. I have been a looking at some linkages lately for my project and remember seeing this syle on their web site.

**PICKMUP** · 05-27-2007, 02:50 PM

Yes, the pic is sideways...note the mc position.

The linkage is aftermarket...Koogel (sp). Much easier for AT conversions, so you don't have to run all the stock frame brackets, connectors, etc.

jeffspower · 05-27-2007, 04:36 PM

Oops- '69 Caprice had the ign. switch on the column. '68 Buick Electra was on the dash

**uncle** · 05-27-2007, 05:21 PM

I think it's a car column also. It's more of a square shape around the area where the shifter goes in.

Dingfodgy · 06-04-2007, 03:01 PM

At first I thought this might be out of a late 60's / early 70's van, but all GM truck colums of this era had the shift indicator on the column itself. It's gotta be out of a car of some sort. I remember my '68 Buick GS had a column very similar to this.

dmec · 06-04-2007, 10:01 PM

it has to be aftermarket. they are the only ones that have bolt on lever for gear selector. the lever on the bottom of column that the trans linkage bolts to. i have seen them in catalogs but dont remember if ididit or flaming river. my guess is ididit. just because it came from a 72 doesnt mean it is factory now days.

**PICKMUP** · 06-05-2007, 03:04 PM

dmec I think you are right. It looks like the ones in CPP catalog...ididit...$500+!
It is too nice to be homemade.
