Steering Column
by Roadcaptain S3 on Mon May 10, 2010 12:57 pm
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.

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?

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

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
