Rebuilt steering columns in SoCal
The steering column in my 83 has bit the dust, looking for a quality rebuilt in Cent or Socal area, or a reputable shop to rebuild it. Local dealer wants and arm or leg to repair, would be cheaper to replace, any info would be appreciated

Re: Rebuilt steering columns in SoCal
Collumns from most GM, and AMC cars and trucks, made from 1973 to 1984 should work with little to no modification. You have a huge variety of vehicles to take a steering collumn from. You can also use 1985 through 1994 GM collumns, but it would require that you relocate your wiper and bright switch. I would hit the junk yards, for this reason

I just put a rebuilt column in my 87' from Wayne 3 weeks ago - he does quality work and I recommend him as well.

Re: Rebuilt steering columns in SoCal
Think kevs classics up in Fresno rebuilds columns. I've seen his pre 66 and 67-72 columns. I know Rene "C-10 king " here only uses him
