Van tilts FS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Still resorting priorities and storage. My how plans change!!

I have 2 van tilts to sell. Wish I had the time, funds and energy to get these rebuilt along with a couple of trucks.

1st one is very clean. Has cruise lever. Other levers have small rust spots which should clean up. Shift indicator broke as usual. Rebuild or use as/is $150 plus Shipping

2nd one is a little rougher but would work great for Circus wagon or one to have rebuilt. Has paint overspray, surface rust on column and small dent on shift bowl that does not affect operation and does not show with steering wheel mounted and the usual shift pointer snapped off. $120 + shipping.

There is a board member in CA. that rebuilds these and does an awesome job for very fair price. Personally I would was planning this route with both.

See other post for tach dashes coming up.

This is probably in the forum somewhere but I couldnt find it plus I thought asking here might get these sold for you.

Whats the difference between a van tilt and a truck tilt?

Thanks,

Brian.

IIRC , the van tilt is longer , and needs to be cut down, and re-welded in the middle of the shaft, or the preferred method is to cut the end and respline it. I believe the Neutral safety switch is also located in a different spot.

I have not had one done by either one of these guys on this board (Kev's Classic or Retro68), but here's a thread that may help....I know both do it the same way....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=328775...

hope this helps someone....

what year vans are those out of?

cheyenne10 · 06-04-2009, 09:20 PM

Another method used I beleive to get these to fit right in is to shorten the intermediate shaft ahead of the steering shaft which is supposed to be quick and easy. The cutting and shortening the steering shaft itself is more work and best done at the time of teardown and restore.

Not sure what yrs of vans these came out of and not sure it matters. Both do not have the key on the column and look exactly like the pickup version.

Differences are
as mentioned, neutral safety switch needs moved down the shaft
shafter arm is shorter than pickup and is prefered by some or easily swaped (one of mine looks to have the pickup arm already)
and length has to be dealt with
firewall boot is different on pickup

The benefit is that these are more available and therefore sell for less money that a pickup column.

cheyenne10 · 06-10-2009, 12:17 AM

That's a good deal.

I can make either one of those look like this.

Or this.
