Asking for help with my buddy's 65 burb. Trying to install a tilt, late model GM (key in the column) steering column, geometry not right. Has anyone installed either the GM tilt, or ididit type with late GM wiring in their rides? Any inputs welcomed.

That is a van tilt wich is nothign like what lngbed is working on.
I have no advice on it though.
The van tilt will work if you add the intermidiate shaft from a 69 - 72 in there.
