I have a 1984 Chevy steering column in my 49 truck and I'm wanting to replace the turn signal lever with one that does not have the wiper, cruise control, etc. on the lever. Do they make a replacement that is just a rod like the tilt lever is in the pic. The ones I've seen online have a different end where it connects inside the column. I found a billet set of 3 as in the pic but the end looks different. Anyone have any knowledge on how it connects inside the column or what would work. I should have paid closer attention when I replaced the turn signal switch.

Just a guess, but I would think that you are probably stuck with at least the wiper switch on your column. I'd hit up the local wrecking yards and see what is available.


Another quality post.

Thanks man. You may be right. Just needed to hear it I guess. I wonder about aftermarket billet levers ???

I was looking at videos online and saw something that caught my eye. I took a screen shot of this fellows earlier steering column and turn signal lever and how it attaches to the turn signal switch. The switch I have has the same area where I could use a screw on turn signal lever. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm thinking the older style lever should work on my switch. I do have 4 wires coming off my turn signal lever but I'm hoping that is all for the options on the switch and the turn signal is operated off the turn signal switch itself.
