I havent found a manufacture yet, but I need to find out where you measure from to get your length. Thanks. Oh yea, if anyone knows of a good place to get one let me know.

Have you thought about one of KevsClassics restored truck tilts. They are VERY nice and can be purchased in auto or floor shift models. (around $450-$500)
In my mind,... they are the only columns that look correct in these classic trucks.

**lolife99** · 08-15-2009, 11:19 PM

here you go,...

gottwake · 08-15-2009, 11:19 PM

Hmmm, thanks, I will give him a shout.

Here is one of Kevin's threads: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...ghlight=column

And Frank sells some nice Flaming River columns if a more custom look is what you need: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=356539

Here's a link to his restoration work and quality of products. He ususally has a few ready to ship out.

Measure from just under the steering wheel to the tube end.

gottwake · 08-15-2009, 11:55 PM

I actually dont have one yet. I was looking for the measurement to order one, or whatever.

If you get one from Kevs...no measurement required...I think.

Hey guys, Thanks for all the great recomendations I really appreciate it.

Gottwake, What are you planning to put a tilt in? If it is a 67-72 truck, Suburban,Blazer or panel my columns will bolt right in and plug in and look and function like it came from the factory originally. If you need one custom made to your specs I can do that also. Let me know if I can help you out.

Kevin...what I have found from this site: If you offer good services or produts you will get great support and recommendations from those on this site....which is good. On the other hand...if the end result of ones services or products is that somebody gets the shaft...then those on this site will attack like a pack of wolfs (but with restraint) to protect their own...which is good because it is self policing...

You offer a good service/product so it is right that you get praise from this forum.JMHO and I'm sticking to it.
