I have the big old original steering wheel and column in my 64 stepper and would like to convert it to a tilt.

Is there a general concensus as to what the most common replacement column from a salvage truck is? Would rather recycle than buy new.

I would not care if it was close to the original, no fancy hazard switch, wipers, column mounted key.

A lot of guys use ones out of Chevy vans. They didnt have the key in column till up in the 70s. They require some modifications. They are getting hard to find now.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Summit Racing has a pretty good deal on new tilt columns these days
