ebay factory tilt column warning!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I saw this tilt on ebay tonight. The seller states that it is NOT a van column, but was taken from a 72 Blazer. It looks like a van to me judging by the long steering shaft and the tilt release lever. What do you think?

ebay Item # 2401948134

Thought I would try to help a fellow member that didn't know the difference from paying a high price for it.

Well, the neutral safety switch is in the right location, and it has the rubber grommet on there...looks right to me.
i just wonder how much some one is willing to pay for it, tha harness is hacked and he didn't even bother to clean it off.

It's a converted Van tilt. Good try to make it look right but, look at the length of the spline shaft. (Dead give a way) Truck tilts lower spline shafts are only about 1 1/2" long. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
