Tilt column vendor

[Kevin Dugan]

Hello folks,
I am looking to replace my regular steering column on my 84 C10 with a new tilt column.
Can anyone recommend a good vendor?
Thanks!

I got one from Steering Columns Galore. I had a tilt column to begin with, but I wanted a completely rebuilt unit. One nice aspect of that company is that they send you a prepaid label to return your core, and don’t charge you a core fee up front. If you don’t return your core within 30 days of receipt of your new one, they’ll charge your credit card for the core.

I don’t know what the cost is to exchange a fixed for a tilt, but I suspect it’s reasonable.

Thanks, I will give them a call.

This is where a few of us have ordered parts from. They also have a rebuild service.

It appears that they do rebuilding only? Did not see that they sell them unless I just missed it. Are there any places that will trade non-tilt for tilt? Just curious.

He must think his parts are made of GOLD. His part prices are 2-3 and 4x what you can get other places.

Where are you located? I just replaced the column i my 87 and would be willing to give you my old one to send in for rebuild. It had an issue with the high beam switch and the tilt was a little loose for my liking. I am in Missouri but would be willing to send it to them for rebuild if you want to pay the shipping. It is complete minus steering wheel

Fair price, very good quality, and great support. I've had one in my 82 for 3 years now. It replaced a worn out 3-on-the-tree column.

He was out when I was looking for one. He may be able to rebuild the one I have though if the op would like me to ship it to him

@chaosrob, is your tilt column an automatic or stick?

I contacted him for tilt column for my truck and he quoted 375.00 + 50.00 shipping. Thought that was a little high for rebuilt. IMO.

OK, just got a quote from these guys. Holy crap! They are higher than giraffe nuts. Won't be buying one there. Over $700 by the time i get done with shipping.

Their parts prices are just as bad.

What kind of prices have you found on professionally rebuilt tilt columns? When I was shopping, I saw even worn-out looking used columns for $200 or more. Wayne charged me around $375 shipped, but that was 3-1/2 years ago. Can't believe how just about everything is 10%-15% more expensive than in 2015.
