Title: Anyone know where I can find a rebuilt column
Post by: Grover 1 on July 05, 2010, 11:19:46 pm

Looking for a rebuilt or reasonable new priced steering column.  I'm going to a Lokar floor shifter and would like to replace my existing column.  Don't need chrome, stainless or anything fancy - just tilt.  I can't seem to find anything in the catalogs.  Thanks

I used http://www.columnsgalore.com. IIRC it was about $250 for a completely rebuilt unit with 1yr warranty.

So you want a factory style tilt with no shift tube (like manual trans) ?

I send everyone to the guy Kenny posted.  I have had great luck with them and so has everyone I have sent there.

I would get a used one and rebuild it. It's pretty darn easy!

I went with the guy Kenny suggested too if for no other reason than he doesn't require a core - columns galore does.  I have talked with GMtilt on the phone a couple of times, Wayne seems very knowledgeable and helpful.  The column ships on Monday, I'll let you guys know how it works.  Once again, thanks to all.  This is such a great site!!
