Aftermarket steering column

[dlisabeth]

I am about to purchase an ididit replacement column for my truck. It is part #1140650010 and is a bolt in replacement for our trucks. It also has a column shifter on it for the 700r4 I am using. It is a bit pricey at $550 and I want to make sure there are no other bolt in options before I make the purchase. Please let me know if you guys know of any other options.

People commonly use the 70's chevy van columns, they are not direct bolt in but very limited mods to get them into place working nicely, thats what I installed in my wifes 60. There are multiple write ups about them if you do a search and I have seen some rebuilt ones go on evil bay for around 300$ and non rebuilt for of course under that.

I used the van columns. Just lined them up and tack on some nuts so I could bolt it to the bracket under the dash. I got the last one at PNP on a 25% off day for $28. This was back when they were not ripping people off though.

The only other thing I would recommend is purchasing a Borgeson U-joint steering adapter. If you go with a .75" DD shaft, the part number I used is: 013449 - it's a .75" x 36-spline to .75" DD adapter joint.

Nope, I ended up getting a 70's van column that I will be installing soon.
