Tilt column, column shift, auto, the real deal truck tilt
This is a very clean column from a low mile C30 truck motorhome.
So what identifies this as a real truck tilt? Some of these features are on early van tilts and later model motorhome tilts, but real truck tilts have all of the following attributes 1. Small font shift indicator lens 2. Very long grey power wire for shift indicator lamp with black female connector. 3. Truck column grommets and lower metal retainer 4. Straight thin metal stamped lower shift linkage lever. 5. All Black plastic turn signal switch and horn contact 6. Short shaft stickout that attaches to intermediate shaft. 7. Metal shift indicator housing 8. No other holes in middle of column to mount the neutral safety switch. 9. Upper center shaft where steering wheel attaches does not have a groove for retaining ring. 10. Ribbed turn signal and tilt levers. 11. The factory paint finish is gloss black. 12. Tulip style hazard button. 13. Half moon wiring connector on turn signal switch. As you can see this column does not have any noticeable rust, its especially clean at the end where it sticks out into the engine compartment because it came from a motorhome here in the pacific northwest. I wiped off a small area of the shaft and splines which revealed clean metal. $450 shipped which includes a full service and same or next day shipping Or $600 shipped including service, complete disassembly bead blasted and painted gloss black. I need 3 days to bead blast and paint. Service includes upper tilt pivot disassembly to verify the tilt pivot knuckle bolts are still tight, clean and lube turn signal switch and tilt pivot pins and detents. Clean and repack upper and lower bearings. |

If you don't know, the original paint on these columns polishes up real easy and super shiny just like the original exterior paint on these trucks.

Re: Tilt column, column shift, auto, the real deal truck tilt
would you be interested in combining this fine column in its patina finish, with your DG4’s for a cool $500?

Re: Tilt column, column shift, auto, the real deal truck tilt
Is this the same column you bought from clay68c10?

Re: Tilt column, column shift, auto, the real deal truck tilt
I’ll jump in and say it’s not. Mine didn’t have the correct gaskets and tilt/turn handles, or a neutral switch. You have to disassemble the column to get those gaskets on. The paint wasn’t as shiny either.

Re: Tilt column, column shift, auto, the real deal truck tilt
I edited my last post a couple of times because i thought this ad was for-the current unrestored tilt column i have for sale. I have had a bunch of nice columns in the past couple of months.
This column was sold. |
