I said do do

Not to take away from your sale but, have you ever thought about "renting" these tools to other members? It seems that most people would only use something like this once and then never use them again. I'm just guessing but I bet several members would like to use them once and pay you a nominal fee for the ability to do so. Something like $20 plus all shipping charges. It would only take 6 renters to pay for them and everyone after that is pure profit for you. I belonged to a motorcycle forum that bought a few specialized tools required to maintain our bikes (all ZRX's) and in that situation it was free, we just paid to ship to the next guy, (sort of like paying it forward). In this case, I would be happy to pay you $20 for the use of the tools. (I'm doing a column right now)

That being said, I'm sure the next guy here will probably buy them from you but I just thought I would throw it out there, food for thought if you will.

Either way, good luck to you.

I have rebuilt many tilt columns and have never used a tool that looks like either one of those tools. I'm just trying to figure out what part of the column to use them on! I'm am dazed and confused

I haven't worked on a column (yet) but do suffer from a serious case of tool lust and the price is right for those...wish I could swing it but I can't at the moment....

I'm interested. Would you take an offer $85.00 shipped.

Just a F.Y.I. If you guys look in section number 9 of the 1972 CHEVROLET TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL page number 9-27, you'll see a listing of all the special tools required to do the service work on these tilt columns, plus other componets listed in that section. Look on pages 9-15 though 9-17 and it will show how to use these tools, plus other tools required. Hope this answers a few questions about these tools. Mike.

Steve Cole....Thanks for the idea, I'll think on that one

70 Shortfleet..the tools are used for the assembly and disassembly of the shift tube , Bronze 72 referenced the use

Roger Koop... Sorry, I'll need more than that

Bronze 72... thanks for the support

[70shortfleet]

Increasing barrier to entry for rebuilding service competition!

Thought long and hard on those, will keep on buying complete done column units.

I have seen the vice holder tool for as low as $29.99

Sold and Mailed

I hear ha JohnH......I have built three so far and always keep an eye open for these tools. They are pricey though

[bronze 72 super]

John, I checked E-bay last night for the vise fixture tool priced at $150 could only find one. Other tools ranged from $14 to $80 depending on which one a person wants. I have already bought some of these. I have 4 column shift tilts for '70-72 pick ups plus about the same amount for '67 Impalas. I could be making some money on rebuilding these, and have the tools pay for themselves. Just food for thought. Mike.

chevykevy, I received the tilt column tools and have already tried them out. They work much better than my home made tool I made for removing the shift tube! Thanks for the fast shipping, Les

How were you removing it before the new tool arrived?

I took a socket the same size as the outside diameter of the tube and cut part of it away to clear the part of the upper housing that sticks out around the tube and then tap it out, if that makes sense to you. Sometimes the tubes are loose enough you can tap on the bottom shift lever that sticks out, but most of the time you will end up bending it down and you have to straighten it back up. Hope this help, Les
