Truck tilt/van tilt ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is the turn signal switch the same between the truck tilt and van tilts? May be easier to swap ts switches than modify the van tilt I just scored.

Should be the same, other than the harness connector, and the hazard knob

If you need either, let me know. I have a few in storage. Could send you a freebie

they are the same, but the hazzard switch and plug on teh van unit may be the newer style... the replacement parts are all like the later van unit

That's good. I'm not too worried about it being "correct", just want everything to work. How hard would it be to get the wires out of the flat connector and put them in the curved one?

Longhorn Man · 12-22-2006, 09:19 PM

not very hard at all, small poker... think, dental tool.
Learn on the broken unit first.

Gonna give it a try anyways. Got a non tilt column I don't plan on using for a spare. Connector should be the same. Thanks Andy.

I used a toothpick to depress the connectors on mine. I had to shave the toothpick down a bit, but depress the little metal tab, and pull it out.

Krue, I have the tilt pin tool thing. Just load them up and come on down if you want. We'll rip them apart. Besides, I can watch and learn so I can do mine

krue · 12-23-2006, 07:11 PM

I may holler at you next week some time Bill.

**Palf70Step** · 12-23-2006, 09:17 PM

I'm off Tuesday and Friday, so holler on bud!! I'm changing out trailing arm and panard bushings.

krue · 12-23-2006, 09:21 PM

May come down there Friday? I wanna dig around in Berry's while I'm there.

**Palf70Step** · 12-23-2006, 09:22 PM

Works for me!!

I may even have enough money to get something at Barry's

krue · 12-23-2006, 09:25 PM

May depend on whether I can find a babysitter for the boys.
