NJ WTB Auto non-tilt column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MidLifer** · 10-19-2015, 01:52 PM

Here I go again - I'm back to putting an auto in my C10. Need a column, auto no-tilt. Prefer non-rusty stalks but can replace from LMC if needed. Sandalwood would be awesome but I'll take any color you have and paint it if I need to.

Kicking myself for selling off the beautiful Sandalwood column Randy sold me a few years back but at that time I was absolutely convinced that I was doing a NV4500...oh well.

**1rippen6** · 10-19-2015, 03:41 PM

I know I have 2 or 3 in storage will get you some pictures tonight.

DLTruck1973 · 10-19-2015, 05:02 PM

I have this one in Sandalwood. It is a decent working column with very minor pitting on the levers. Shift indicator housing is nice and un cracked. Has correct bulb holder for fiber optic shift indicator light. It is not perfect cosmetically but functions well and would be a nice for a driver.

I need $125.00 plus shipping for this column.

Let me know,

Thank you,
Thomas

I have what you need, but it is still in my Blazer. I recently did a manual swap, but still have the auto column installed until I can find a sandalwood non-tilt floor shift column. If you could help me out, I could help you out. Shoot me a PM if interested.

**MidLifer** · 10-19-2015, 07:20 PM

Cleszkie my column is not period-correct, it looks like it came from an early squarebody or mid-70s van. Pics attached.

I will be ready to start my engine swap in mid-Nov so if you still want to do a swap after seeing what I have to offer, and that time frame works for you, let's talk.

cleszkie · 10-19-2015, 07:24 PM

You have my attention with your column. Yes the turn signal lever is different, but I believe a correct one will bolt right in. Also, the hazard light knob is different,but that doesn't really bother me. Was your column repainted sandalwood, or is it original paint?

**MidLifer** · 10-19-2015, 07:47 PM

It looks to be original sandalwood. I can't see any evidence that it was repainted.

**1rippen6** · 10-19-2015, 08:41 PM

Looks like you might have something worked out but since I had the pictures figured I would post them. Green one was in my blazer and everything worked when removed. I will post some pictures of the saddle one I have never tried that one just removed it. The fiber optic is broken on this one but can remove one from another column. 60 plus shipping for either one.

**1rippen6** · 10-19-2015, 08:44 PM

Levers on both are rusty may clean up ok but will not be perfect. Horn components included less button. I can get better pictures of the saddle one if interested.

**jaros44sr** · 10-20-2015, 07:54 AM

cleszkie, if you need a floor shifter bowl, and turn signal housing for your column I have one lmk

**MidLifer** · 10-21-2015, 07:47 AM

Guys, cleszkie has an offer of a shift bowl from jaros44sr. If that goes through I will be getting in touch with one of you about your columns. FYI, DLTruck1973, your column is Saddle, not Sandalwood.

Sorry, midlife for mucking up your thread, I wasn't thinking

**70shortfleet** · 10-21-2015, 09:35 AM

MidLifer, if you see anything that you might be interested in, let me know, thanks Les

Now I see the difference. With that said, I do not have a Sandalwood auto column for you.

Thank you,
Thomas

**MidLifer** · 10-21-2015, 08:20 PM

It's all good bro. I think Cleszkie would be better off taking your parts than my column anyway since his truck is a daily driver.

So you're in Philly? I'm across the bridge in Moorestown.

Which bridge is that, I should have a column laying around, since I swapped in a tilt, lmk if you want me to dig it out

**MidLifer** · 10-28-2015, 07:24 PM

Jaros44sr, before I go and pay shipping for one of these other columns from another part of the country, can you see if you have one?

Color doesn't matter to me, I'll paint it if I have to, but would like something complete and in decent or better shape.

Thanks -
Jim

No sorry, still looking

**MidLifer** · 11-02-2015, 07:48 AM

Les, in the back of that picture I see a sandalwood column. Other than the missing stalks is it complete and in usable shape?

Here is the sandalwood column, it definitely needs a good cleaning!

**jaros44sr** · 11-02-2015, 06:53 PM

Glad he could help you out midlifer

**MidLifer** · 11-05-2015, 04:34 PM

1rippen6 I'm interested in your green column at $60. If you can tell me a box size and appx weight I can send you a prepaid UPS label (I have an account with them and get discounts on shipping).
