Tilt Column

How do I identify year of a tilt column. This came in my 1970 blazer but has ignition on column so I’m sure it’s not 67-72. It is an automatic on column - must of came from a salvage yard as it has 4 speed automatic written in yellow marker on column. Can’t read the year could be 1988 or 1998?

Thanks in advance

Re: Tilt Column

I have been told the center shaft/spline changed when we got air bags, so I would assume 1994 would be as new as it could be if it has an older style wheel. I am not sure what year the 700R4 was an option.

Re: Tilt Column

Going off memory in the years, but they are visually identifiable easily. So easy even Steveie Wonder can do it. Pre 81's have a basic or blank stalk for turn signals, and post 81 have wipers on the stalk like modern cars.

Wipers weren't on the turn signal stalk until '83.

Re: Tilt Column

84 was the first yr GM for trucks that wipers were on the signal stalk.
The tilt stalk can be a tattle tail to what year and the steering wheel un less they change them, the length wiper stalk size shape. Keys some time give a idea main wire plug/ wire colors get close to the yr.
A few pic of the wheel parts get a few narrow it down.
83 the wiper switch was on the dash.
