68 Tilt column Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the new column preped and painted it. Made the mod for the netural safety switch. Easy mod when column is apart. The 72 column has a 36 spline shaft, are you using the center shaft from the van to attach it to the steering box

The 68 shaft is one piece all the way to the slip sleeve with no splined coupling to attached it to the column

any help here would be great.

The shaft extension for the 69 up trucks should work well for you but you will need to collapse it a bit.

Ditto!! You just need the rest of a later 2-pc column.Doesn`t need to be tilt.
