Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
Stick with an oem column even if it cost you more money. I put a CPP chrome tilt in my friends truck and if you ask me it's a piece of crap. I wouldn't have one if they gave it to me for free!

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
I had Les "70ShortFleet" rebuild mine and he did a magnificent job at a very fair price.

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
Use a van column. Very easy to adapt, OEM GM quality, way less $$ than an aftermarket column.

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
I agree with Ed! I have bought or had Les rebuild 3 for me just last year. He does a wonderful job!

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
72-80 (or so). As long as it doesn't have the key in the column.

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
I used a CPP unit. The shift lever was a little loose however it functioned perfectly. I would not hesitate to use one again.

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
It makes me wonder... if the bearings I'm trying to find are so "unavailable", what the heck is being "rebuilt" in these $$$$$ OEM rebuilds??? New upper and lower bearings and a paint job?

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
I copied this from an ad..... but you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Note the ad states bearings were cleaned , checked and re-lubed....
Column was completely disassembled. all metal parts bead blasted, external parts were etched primed then painted semi-gloss black. housing bolts have been lock-tited to not come loose. bearings have been checked & re-lubed. new ac delco turn switch. |

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
For aftermarket columns, Flaming River is "The Man". It's what they do and have done for longer than CPP has existed. We have a vendor here who has Flaming River set them up to bolt directly in.

Upper and lower bearings? That takes all of 30 minutes to inspect or replace. Looks like there is good money to be made in cleaning up columns... Now for a column that is loose side to side or up and down...the fix for that is to tighten up 4 bolts which is part of re-assembly. Sometimes the parts in there are worn and require touching up with a file, I bet usually they are just snugged down. |

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
Well, I gave up on finding the bearings. The only guy I could find that says he has them wants a small fortune for them ($180 for both) and by the time I buy the rest of the other parts it's not worth another $300, so per most people's suggestions I ordered an unpainted ididit column. Should be here next week or so.

Re: New "Reproduction" tilt columns
That's actually who I just bought one from. Great price and free shipping. The only thing that sucks is us 67/68 owners have to buy a $30 wheel adapter kit or grind the steering wheel hub down. I just paid $200 for a new steering wheel, so I bought the kit.

Edit: The floor shift tilts are way cheaper, like $300 less, than the column shift ones... my bad...
