Adapter For Van Tilt Wiring Needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**WIDESIDE72** · 08-29-2008, 09:20 PM

I Recently Bought A Van Tilt Column And I Thought I Saw On Here, Or Maybe Another Site, An Adapter That Would Adapt The Flat Wiring Connector On The Van Column To The Circular Connector On The Truck (?) Also, Everywhere I Have Seen That Talks About Adapting The Van Column To The Truck Says To Just Drive The Male Half Of The Intermediate Shaft Intp The Female Half Until It Breaks The Plastic "welds", Making It Adjustable. This Works Fine, But When You Do This, It Makes The Shaft Solid Because You Drive The Two Pieces Together So Far. I Took A Portable Band Saw And Cut The Female Half Of The Intermediate Shaft About In Half. This Way, If I Am Ever In An Accident, The Intermediate Shaft Will Collapse As Intended.
