You must have a memory like a super fast hard drive. 8O I remember that build now that you sent it to me. It was like 4 columns to make that one. wow. What a build. I was hoping for someone using somewhat of a stock column. BUT WOW.

Thanks a bunch to the memory machine.

Haha. No problem.

Ratnluv had a tilt column, but he swapped to a mustang II front end. I can't think of any swaps that used mostly stock components, but I haven't memorized the whole site yet. Lol

Get on it and memorize it, what in the hell are we paying you for?


My LUV had a Camaro tilt in it when I first got it, it fit nice. I didn't take pics and replaced the cab, sorry.

EDIT: I did find this, not much.

Looks like a manual shift column. Different gauge setup but looks like a stock dash otherwise. Same city your in!!
Do you remember anything about the column in your old cab, year what ever else. I hate to just go buy one and have to get another one, cheap guy that I am :lol:

In pictures it look like a s-10 could work.

Don't remember what it was, my guess it was a S 10 but something tells me it was a early 80's Camaro, I say this because of the steering wheel. Wish I could help more.

Any little info helps. So thanks a lot!!! If it will fit under the dash and fit ok I think it will work. I have done on a 5* GM truck to get a 455 Pontiac in the get around the exhaust. Of course it was many moons ago and I used a GM column.
