Update Steering
Hello everyone,
I have a 70 c10 and I would like to update the steering to a tilt column with power steering. I currently do not have power steering. It seems like people update there column with a tilt column from a van. What years of van can I get this from? Or is someone has a alternate route please chime in.

Re: Update Steering
Van tilts have to be modified to fit. 70's-early 80's, before keys were added to the column

Re: Update Steering
My tilt came out of an 82 Van. Vans with the round headlights have the right style columns but don't pass by the square headlight Vans without looking because this 82 Van had the square ones.

I think these had the column mounted ignition switch, but you could probably do it.

Re: Update Steering

I have a 4wd blazer with power steering and i kinda wanna snag it. and my uncle has a tilt column from a 83 would that work? sorry to jack your thread just ?s i always wondered. that wouldn't be worth starting a new thread.

Re: Update Steering
well i have put a 80 chevy dash and steering column in my 69 but havent figured out how to hold the steering column up in the right place on the fire wall. you have to modifie your brake assembly where your steering column goes because they are bigger and longer then where it comes through your gauge cluster you have to make that bigger to
