Auto Column Shift Levers?
Is there a difference between the tilt and non tilt shifter lever in an auto column? If so, can a non tilt shifter be used or modified to work in a tilt column? I've located aftermarket non tilt shifter levers, are the tilt shifter levers available aftermarket?

They are not the same.
Do you need a replacement...or are you looking for a custom touch? |

Thanks Longhorn. I'd prefer a replacement, but I'd be open to a custom part, depends on the appearance.

I don't have one of the tilt shift levers here at home but heres a scan of the non-tilt shift lever end that inserts into the steering column,
![]() the tilt one I will get a pic of Monday at latest if I don't grab one later today from the office. On the tilt ones where the hole is on the non-tilt it has material removed about 1/3 of its thickness on either side and forms a curved dish. " Hope you understand that explanation its a little hard to explain as they say a pics worth a thousands words. " The tilt column lever end that inserts into the column is about 1/2 as long as a non-tilt is also. Big differences you could never confuse the 2 by looking at the end that goes into the column.

No pic of a tilt one here either. but that ball is missing and it looks more like a machined edge that slides into a notch.
For lack of better words. |

This is what the end of a tilt lever looks like and you can see the difference as compared to GMC Paul's pic.

Thats also the same one used in the 70's van tilts. So thats another option if you want to check the boneyard.
