Intermediate Shaft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone order the Intermediate shaft from CPP?

I got it all installed with the new tilt column and went to put it in park and the shaft is too long. The little arm that connects to my linkage for my transmission hits the bracket that's bolted to the firewall. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Why should I have to cut a shaft that is supposed to be for this 1972 Blazer?

Is the column aftermarket? Can you post some photos that show what and where the impingement is?

It's a new column but made for these vehicles, and a new intermediate shaft, ordered from CPP (Classic Performance Products) through Scott's Super Trucks in Canada.

I ended up cutting 1.5 inches off.

Good deal. Just a heads up - there’s an oem clamp designed to secure the column at the firewall bracket. You may know that already if so,sorry.

Yes, I ended up accidentally selling it with my old column. Going to put a muffler clamp on it for now until I can get the proper one. Do you think that is okay?

Might be some flex but I can’t imagine it breaking loose. Is there enough room to get a the strap in place without impinging sifting? I supposed a worm gear clamp could suffice as a temporary measure too.

I have the clamp but shipping to Canada maybe expensive.
