I want to do a tilt column in my 66 Special. I really don’t care about the key location in the dash and honestly prefer the keyed column from a later a-body car. I’m sure this has been done over and over but is there a particular column that will fit dimensionally pretty good under the dash? I can do my own double-d for the steering shaft if required but just want a column that I can get parts really easy for and fits decently in to the stock location. Thanks
The tilt columns can't be that rare. I've got one in my 66 Skylark, which was a low option car(non PS or PB, non a/c). I would think it would be a direct bolt in.
Hey, Thought I'd follow the conversation. I have a 70 which is suppose to have a non tilt with the floor shift. But at some point in time, the previous owner put in a tilt column with a column shift and removed the column handle. so it's all sorts of messed up. Need to swap something else as well.
I just prefer the later model tilt with the keyed-column. I can also retrofit a late column easier if I decide to keep the shifter there with a 4L60. Just more options it seems.
