Question on a tilt column
I got this tilt column last week and noticed the arm for the shift linkage is offset, all the other ones I have seen are straight. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Re: Question on a tilt column
I think the truck ones are straight. Looks like a van tilt to me. The plug in looks later also. Maybe someone who knows for sure can varify... Eric

Re: Question on a tilt column
no, that's not a van, the shaft is too short. Vans had a straight shifter arm too. Maybe a RV or something?
it really shouldn't matter, there's enough room for movement, you should be able to just hook it up and forget it. |

Re: Question on a tilt column
Wrong harness connector, and shift arm should be straight. But, the harness is an easy fix and the shift arm will probably work. Tilt RULES!

Re: Question on a tilt column
GM made/sold steering columns for Motor Homes, RV's, Industrial stuff---and I have seen many variations in both the harness, overall length, and shifter arms. You can adjust your lower steering column shaft length for just about any column and a harness adapter will allow for connection from/to any straight harness hookup. You should be good to go just make sure that your neutral safety switch location will work with your dash---most van's and some RV's require this to be relocated.

Re: Question on a tilt column
Thanks guys, I knew it wasn't a van column and I have the harness adapter, my main concern was the offset arm. I knew someone on here would have an answer for me!

Re: Question on a tilt column
The lettering on the PRNDLL is newer than 72. The shift lever is not P/U style but looks like a van.
The offset arm might work just fine by reversing the mounting of the rod retaining stud.
