Hi, anybody ever put a 65-66 full size chev. passenger tilt column in a 63 k-10 chev truck? do these work?
using '78 K10 PS box (with captainfab mounting plate)

The truck I just bought is a 63' and has a column in it from an Impala. Don't know what year but the key is in the column and it has the auto shift lever removed...seems like it fit no problem in terms of adapting to the truck....

Steering box has nothing to do with which column you use because of the different knuckles and shafts available. You just need to measure the length of the column to see if it matches whats in the truck. Example, my Dad had a 72 impala column in his 49 Ford truck. It worked fine.

thanks for the input. this impala column is not here where I can measure it, and I don't know if I trust this person to measure it.................but it looks to be in nice shape, has everything, and I like the idea of the tilt. It also has the automatic shifter, I will need at some point. AND the price is right! I have captainfab's adjustable rag jount flange end piece, which can allow some adjustment to the shaft length, IF it fits over the Impala's steering shaft OK.

I guess I am wondering also about how the shifter linkage location and mounting bracket works in the truck, if it ends up in about the right place. Seems like I'm going to have to take a ride and look at this thing.
