I have a chance to get a tilt column from a 72 Chevy van that I would like to use in my 63 suburban. I also have a straight column out of a 72 GMC pickup that I could use for parts. Any pointers from someone who has done this swap would be a big help. Thanks

I put a 72 straight column in my 64 several years ago. It was pretty simple. I had ti shorten the bottom part of the steering shaft a little. The wiring was not hard but time comsuming. Don,t believe those that tell you that gm always used the same color of wires for the same functions! Really its not that hard of a job. Good luck andlet me know if I can help.

the 70's vans have great columns. Some include ignition onthe column while others do not (these are rare and valuable). Many of the aftermarket columns use this design. Go for it!
