Factory tilt in 1970?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 01-16-2008, 06:00 PM

Just wondering if anyone has a 1970 truck with a factory installed tilt column in it. I have a '70 dealer mailer that shows a tilt column as an accessory, but after owning, trading, parting 90+ trucks I have never seen one??? Please post pic. of glovebox decal if you have one!! Thanks.

Joshua,
my cousin and myself parted over 200 of these trucks starting back in the 80s and i've never seen nor owned a 70 truck with a documented "factory" tilt. i'm not saying they were not available, i have 70 model dealer info stating they were available, but if someone has a truck with a documented "factory" unit, it would be a rare bird indeed.

70 was a big year for options. it was the first year for tilt, tool box, the speed warning was no longer available, etc. etc. I guess I haven't seen that many 71-72's with tilt so I don't see a 70 being any different. hope this helps
