Looking for a manual trans tilt column. Thanks. Brian

stelth2002 · 07-16-2004, 01:03 PM

Ive been looking for one for a while, im not sure if they even made them did they?

Harold Shepard · 07-16-2004, 01:07 PM

they did make them but good luck finding one. Saw one at Charlotte Auto fair several years ago and they wanted big$$$ for the thing. Don't remember who had it, but they had several rebuilt columns. You might try looking in Hemmings and see what is listed in services.

I had one, but I sold it to some Brian guy last winter

Burnsman · 07-16-2004, 01:35 PM

I know. Thanks 71

. I am looking for one more. I have bid on 4 in the last 3 months on ebay and lost every single one. A few went for too much $. The other ones I lost becuase I'm not a smart ebayer.

stelth2002 · 07-16-2004, 03:34 PM

Curious, what do they go for on ebay and Brian you should identify yourself so we dont bid against each other for something like that.

Burnsman · 07-16-2004, 03:49 PM

My ebay name is burnsman. I missed the one at like $260. I think another was around $280. The other two were in the $330-$350 range. I put a limit of $300 (or there-abouts). I don't mind paying a good buck for something I want, but some people are insane!

68c10owner · 07-16-2004, 07:10 PM

there is a parts company selling rebuilt ones. i think the name is golden state or something like that. they are in carson city nevada. i can`t remeber the price but i want to say it was around $300-$350.

Thanks! Anyone ever use any of the aftermarket tilts?

gonebad2 · 07-16-2004, 11:29 PM

I got one from The Truck Shop in Orange Ca for around $300.00. It was totally rebuilt with new bearings, harness and cancelling cam. It has a short shaft like the original so it bolted right in. I'm really pleased with it.

Deuce · 07-16-2004, 11:57 PM

A truck I looked at had a tilt out of a Nova or something like that. Looked kinda weird though.

We use and sell the IDIDIT manual tilt steel column made for the 67-72 chevy-gmc truck, it's a direct bolt in installiation and comes with the lever dress up kit and correct harness. It is a very smooth operating tilt for around 340.00 with shipping
