installed a van tilt today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72dually · 07-25-2004, 11:48 PM

Well I installed a van tilt, it was easier than I thought, took about an hour, its a little close to the dash, so adjustment is necessary, but I might not pull it out as far as stock, its so comfortable farther away, just need to dye the 3-spoke green, and thats all Im doing to the interior, other than the floor rubber

I have the correct levers for your turn signal and tilt ( I think I still have them) If I do do you want me to send them with the knob?? It may not matter just noticed the tilt pic, which looks good by the way. Harold

Nah, thanks for the offer tho, Ive got some extra's, just need that right radio knob, and Thanks

please dont dye the wheel wanna trade ? you have a pm

Blue Beard · 07-26-2004, 07:41 AM

Looks good......should put the procedure in the FAQ section. Always questions on this change over and the wiring hook up.

**StingRay** · 07-26-2004, 09:36 AM

Fast 71 is that black wheel in good shape? If you don't get a trade I have a nice wheel in tan that I'd consider trading for a good black one.

Hope you don't mind asking about those three spoke wheels. What are they from ? was that a Chevy option or after market? Where can I get one.

they came on corvettes and chevelles in the early 70's . you can find them on ebay . search corvette steeringwheel , 3 spoke steeringwheel ,Buick steeringwheel, and comfortgrip steeringwheel

8door · 07-26-2004, 10:20 AM

fast71. Thanks for fast response. I can guess that is why your name is fast71? or is it just your truck.
I'll start looking for a wheel.

72dually · 07-26-2004, 09:01 PM

Corvette, but easier to find on buick skylark/regals/riviera's 73-77, Im looking for the 67 stainless cap as you've shown also

jimfulco · 07-27-2004, 03:02 AM

I have the knob you need for 2$ plus a little for the ride to you!

It does mean breaking up a set on spare radio.

Hey, how about a brief write up on what you did? you know, the year van and all you got it out of and how you did what you did. That's something I'm interested in doing too. looks great.
