Re: PO has me PO'd
Thats cool 119,119 views
 Got the tach in and wired, finally had this part a long time. Used a stepper drill to open it up to 3/4", then used the stepper on the inside to get rid of the burr. Yeah, i know its in the wrong location, but i didnt want to take the fuse box out again Last two items to address is the vacuum and the oil lines

Re: PO has me PO'd
Nice job! About 5-6 years ago, I had a 68 custom camper that I bought for the ac parts. The guy I bought it from only wanted the tilt column so he removed it and replaced it with a standard column. The truck had cruise on it. I removed and sold it on ebay - think I got $125 for it. That was one of those dumb ideas.

 Thanks Dave, thanks goes out to you and John, for giving up your secret stash of parts. Located a patch panel for the forward edge (jlaird), so i can fix either the GMC or Chevy hood....been lookin for several years and finally have all my body pieces  Hood fits like a glove, no shims, not bad for a repop tri (top banana) 67-8 core support. Now, ijust have to save up for the billet hood hinges

Now to see if i can reassemble my tilt, with no dissassembly pics Seems like i should go back under the hood and finish up, but it was nice to work in the wide open spaces. Not looking forward to the challenge of the tilt Thanks for stopping by, this forum has so many incredibly talented guys, its nice to see you take the time to look

Re: PO has me PO'd
Since i ripped out the TSC system, hanging on the left by the brake, logical place to hang the buzzer was were the tsc solinoid hung. fits, but sure where the stock one hangs

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thought id start to document my reassembly of the tilt column that i didnt take any disassembly pics of....so this should be from memory
Mounted the column under the dash with the clamp, can only go in one way. There are some nubs and detents that have to align, these are located in the dash horseshoe bracket and the other end of the column, outside the cowl under the m/c. There is a clamp there, to affix the column to the bracket attached to the brake pedal support This where the detent and nub are located, under this clamp. Gives you the oreintation of the column

Re: PO has me PO'd
Dont forget to put the rubber gasket and plate on the column before it goes thru the cowl

Re: PO has me PO'd
Not sure it matters. All it does is provide the indent for where the pin goes for each position of the tilt. Thats why it's staggered like that. Should move and stop in each position regardless of which way you install them. I was trying to see if I had pics from when I assembled mine, but couldn't find them. But I really don't think it matters.
