76 Chevy Tilt Column fit a 79 GMC ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the chance to buy a 1976 Chevy Silverado tilt steering column and I am wondering if it would fit into my 1979 GMC Sierra?

Are there any mods or is it a basic swap?

Thank You,
Bob

i believe its an easy swap the differences were with the overdrives and with the wipers on the column

You should try to also get the shaft that connects the column to the steering box. They changed from splined to double flats sometime in the late 70s

I put a tilt column from a 1974 GMC into a 1979 Chevy with no problem whatsoever. Direct bolt in and all electrical connections made up perfectly.
