Re: tilt difference

Apparently several inchs different in length as well as location of neutral safety switch and shape of the turn signal plug in thinger.

Lots of great info here.

Re: tilt difference

If I remember correctly the neutral safety switch on the van tilt is not in the same place. Its too far down the column and interferes with the brake pedal arm. So the switch has to be moved up the column and the collapsible steering arm on van tilt has to be shortened by about 4".

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other.
See which one gets filled first.
