Thanks for taking the time to look that info up. But, the turn signal switch is for a 79 van tilt (I think) At least the autozone pic looks to be just like what mine looks like. Read futher down to see what's being done now. I decided for now to try this column again. Since it was used to align my dash. I really don't know what it came out of. If I had to guess it looks like a mid 80's truck column. This first pic shows that the collar around the column needs to be shortened 2". ![]() Here is a pic of it being shortened. ![]() The gap looks better don't it Strodder? I've got the column shimmed up with what ever was close to me. Need to weld some nuts in place to mount it. ![]() Nuetral safety needs to be relocated. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread

79 Tilt. Go figure. You do have a car dash in there so what was I thinking.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks like your doing a great job. That gap you are referring to is where the wires will lay. The flange is where the weatherstrip attaches. I don't have a good pic of it being done showing the gap. Here is mine before surgery. You can see a wire running thru there and the gap. The spot weld go down in that area onto top of the inner rocker. I guess I should have took some better pix.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Ya'll ever start on a project and half way thru it you ask yourself what the hell was I thinking?
![]() ![]() ![]() I was taking step by step pix to share with ya'll. Once I got to this point is when it hit me..........That's stupid you dumb A$$. My thinking is I can cut out a square around the original location and move it up the column. The piece I cut out can fill the hole where the original one was. It will be alot cleaner and will allow me more access to the inner shaft so I can cut it as well. I will weld the piece I cut out tonight back in and start over. Don't ya'll think that would be better? ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Maybe this will help out. Weld the piece I cut out and start over by doing this.

I've seen 2 mishaps over the years due to that. It's not worth the risk of killing someone. After I got my measurements and a plan this is what happened. I didn't take pix of the cut I made on the inner tube where the switch is activated. It looks almost like the original hole just in a different location. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And there is continuity in park. I tacked everything in place and checked with a meter before I weld everything up. ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
I get it....sorry dude. I see whats up now; thats slick. Was the switch interfering with something? Your mount is clean too. My column installed by the PO has a cobbled up mount combined of the late(?) 70's column mount and the original. The column is also too short.

Re: My 1965 build thread
The slot on the inner cylinder wasnt registering to me. Probably because I havent torn apart a column before. I knew it worked mechanically.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Man I'm tired, just went through the whole thread again to find how you welded the rocker to the floor. I noticed you made holes in the new rocker. Did you use a spot weld bit? Every time I go through your thread I find something new I learned. This is like my third time I have gone through it.
Thank you. |

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, thanks for the in-depth photos and detail of what you’re doing. This effort will no doubt save many tears for a lot of folks later on and is a great example of why this forum is so important.
