Tilt Colum parts on a non-tilt

Ok, I have an Auto tilt column, and I have a 4 speed truck. If I get a 4 speed column, can I swap the tilt parts over to it from the auto column? Thanks.

4speed manual columns have no shift parts as the shifts for 4spd manual trannys are all on the floor

I'm not sure what you are asking!
If you want the tilt to look like a factory tilt for a 4 speed yes all you need is the manual cover for the tilt area. This will do away with the gear shift opening and if I remember right it will slip right on the auto, if this is what you are looking to do.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

NO. Parts are completly different.
You will have to shave and fill your tilt column.

Sorry,
I thought I had read you could use the column and just buy the manual cover for it someplace on here. Kevin can you give me a price on new parts for mine. It's a orignal 4 speed manual but needs to be tightened up some. Bearings and such. The tilt is a little loose to.
