67-72 tilt wheels
Anybody know anything about CPP or Ididit steering columns. Good or bad. Looking to replace one that I pieced together years ago.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
I've had two IDIDIT columns. Both have been great! My dad has a Flaming River column in his 56. I'm not all that crazy about it, but it's ok. I'm not sure who's column CPP sells.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
Stay away from flaming river they are terrible. IIRC the CPP columns are IDIDIT columns.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
I put a ididit column in a 48 pickup that I built and have one in my 37 coupe now and have had no problems. I bought a column from 70shortfleet for my c10 and love it. Would buy from him again.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
I recently bought and installed an IDIDIT floor shift tilt, its a nice column but not nearly as nice as a factory column.
Here is why, I had to work on it, the horn contact got melted from a bad horn relay. The upper shaft bearing preload is not adjustable like the factory column. The bearing is preloaded by the horn contact which is plastic, there is a very heavy spring under the horn contact that preloads the bearing, a circlip holds the pressure...very poor design. Its ridiculous they didn't just thread the shaft like GM didit (pun intended) |

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
Factory columns from trucks, vans and RVs work in our trucks, and we know they’re dependable. I’d stay away from the aftermarket if you can. There are plenty out there to be had. You can find them in good shape at reasonable prices as well.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
That’s the best choice, by far. Nothing’s better than a fresh, tight factory tilt and the ones he sells are absolutely beautiful.

Re: 67-72 tilt wheels
KevsClassics refurbished a van tilt column for my Blazer several years ago. ... don't remember what it cost but worth every nickel. Like brand new.
