Tilt Column Switch

[Vandals909]

My 71 has the factory fixed steering column. I have a donor 1987 Suburban, will the title from that bolt into the 71? What years work?

Also my truck came with from disc brakes but it does not have a power booster. Will the suburban power booster work? What are the guys who are swapping to LS motors using for a power booster?


Thanks again.

if you want it bad enough, both of those parts will fit, but neither is a direct swap.

Is there an oem chevy or GMC tilt cloumn that will fit? What about the 73 and newer steering column is it a direct fit. I'am trying to upgrade to a tilt and save some money also (poss pull one from a junkyard).

Thank you!

the only direct fit ones aren't cheap... the stock ones for these trucks.
After that, some old RVs had one that was a direct fit, but very hard to find.
After that, the common 72-81 van tilt, minimal mods, dirt cheap at many junk yards. It looks very very close to the original truck units too. I'm sure someone has a link to the needed mods

So is the majority of the people on the site using a 67-72 tilt column? What about the one brothers makes?

The one from ECE says it is for 1969-1972, why wouldnt it work for a 67-68? My truck is registered as a 71 but has 67 front end and doors. Anyone know the difference.

Think I found the article for the mods needed.
