I have a 283 and a power glide transmission. I would rather have the shifter in the steering column so there is more room on the floor of the truck. But will the steering column shift a power glide transmission because I think that most of the automatics for trucks were 350's. Anyway I don't have the steering column ether that might be a hard one to find.

They are a little hard to find, but not impossible. Later model C10 truck steering columns will swap in pretty easily, but it all depends on whether you want it to look original or not. I'd recommend an Ididit or Flaming River column. They are safer than the older columns. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 | The Ididit or Flaming River column are a very expensive alternative. Better try and find an original first. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | The Ididit or Flaming River column are a very expensive alternative. Better try and find an original first. Yes, they are expensive. If you can find a used steering column with a collapsible shaft, then you have increased the safety for the driver. Plus a tilt column is nice too. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | I would suggest you check with Rich Sisneros, I'll bet he has a good used column that would work.

Proceed with caution if the Kansas City source is Tony Smith @ 4-5-6 Chevy trucks. I've had good luck buying from Tony, many more than a few others haven't. That's why I suggested Rich Sisneros.... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 | Ok... Rich Sisneros doesn't have one right now and Tony only sells re-built ones and he wants $400 for them.
Esum.... do you know how to get hold of the guy in Florida? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I answered your add in the parts wanted. We have one available in the K. C. area & are not connected to 4-5-6- Trucks.
