tilt steering
 
my steering wheel is a little loose on 87 r10, its not a tilt, so i'm thinking of replacing with one. having a hard time finding one. i'm not sure what other years are compatible. and will i run into any issues with the swap? thanks...

Late 83 up steering columns are what you will need because of the windshield washer-wiper and dimmer switch on the turn signal lever.

your truck has the wipers on the column so that should work you may have to swap over cruise control its not that big of a ceal to fix y our old column it should tighten up ok

what are the main things that usually cause the extra play in the steering. maybe i'll just tighten this one up for now.

Yours can befixed, but I suggest a tilt column. The comfort added by a tilt wheel is very much worth the trouble.

not sure what i'm gonna do, steering is a little loose, but ican deal with that. thought a tilt wheel would be the way to go because i put a grant steering wheel on and now i kinda blocks the speedo.
