Steering Column

Switching from column shift to floor, Will columns from other years work, or do I have to have the 73-77 GM?

you need a 73-77 column,but stick with chevelle/elky. some of the 75-77 olds and buicks had the dimmer switch on the blinker lever.

76 and 77 were the ONLY olds year's ( cutlass ) that had the dimmer on the blinker handle if that helps brother

looks okay, decent feedback........pics ain't great though....I probably won't go much more than the opening price though..It's pretty beat up...

by 77malibu77 Mon May 10, 2010 7:11 pm

looks alright but wouldnt you have to buy everything from the turnsignal switch to the steering wheel
like the lock plate/spring/cancelling cam/ horn contact button and the steering wheel itself?

by Roadcaptain S3 Mon May 10, 2010 7:15 pm

Nah, just take most of it out of my current column......ingnition and cancelling cam need to be replaced anyway.....

by 77malibu77 Mon May 10, 2010 7:39 pm

oh haha ok well
i tried to put a non tilt lock plate on my tilt and it wouldnt fit
and i tried to put a non tilt canceling cam in it and bout took my eye out when the lock plate remover tool broke right in half, dumb move on my part haha

let me know if you dont get it for I have a floor shift column complete with key from the 76 but if you can change your turn signal over to make it work that would be a bonus and its red with steering wheel not that you need another wheel my friend

NON TILT THOUGH IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT

Steering wheel?? Ha, some guy around here sold me a couple..... Very Happy

(still can't decide which i like the best either Rolling Eyes

)

Does that fleabay column look right to you? i can't tell much from the pics.

by Limey SE Mon May 10, 2010 8:06 pm

It does look correct but I suspect you will be rebuilding that tilt mechanism it looks worn from the pics ..............I would def ask for better pics of condition

PM en route

I sold a PERFECT column to a guy in jersey for 175,that a friend of mine had hanging in his garage. I have about 6 tilt/floor columns,but i could not let them go for 75.

I have 3 orphan columns that I'm trying to make a tilt/tele into. I bought a 76 corvette tilt/telescopic column and am trying to piece them together. hope that it will work and look bad a$$.

How hard will that be to get the vette column to fit??? isn't that way shorter than the Monte?

6 COLUMNS???? I'm in the car, should hit cleveland about 0300 hrs.
You don't lock the garage do you?? if one of those columns is missing in the morning, Rago did it!!! Very Happy

by 1973 454 MONTE Mon May 10, 2010 8:35 pm

OMG LMFAO

i'm going to use the top half of the corvette with the bottom half of the monte. Interchange it at the nuckle. Sad

by The Dude Mon May 10, 2010 8:38 pm

Yeah while you're at it, grab a good dash & door panels for Brown Eye...... er I will. scratch

From the pics of his collection that he has showed us I don't think he'll notice them missing, LMAO!

by Roadcaptain S3 Mon May 10, 2010 8:39 pm

I haven't got a clue about vette columns, and not much of a clue about G3 columns......would you have to weld in some pieces to match the width?
