Tilt steering
 

I’m considering ididit column. I’ve talked to several tech support but some tech support say 32” and 38’? It’s for my 1966 c10 shorty with a:chevy: big window.

Greetings. I don't have an answer for you, but I think someone in the 60-66 message board would. Let's see about getting this moved over there where it will be sure to be seen by that bunch

It is moved...Hope someone here can get you your answer.

Why not try the PVC pipe column trick I described in post #9 of this thread so you can see what suits you. Like shoes, different people need different sizes and an ididit is a big investment into your comfort and safety. You want to get it right the first time. Edit: you also need to be clear on how idid it measures their columns. Remember they have the splined stub that extends past the tube and I think it may count in the overall dimensions

I went with Ididit's tilt, column shift retro column for the 60-66 truck and it is right at 32" end to end of the shaft. I had to position the column as close to the dash as possible. A 38-inch long column would be to long for my application (I have the factory bench seat). Be sure to measure with you sitting in your seat.

Ididit makes a column for our trucks - Have you looked at their web site?

Re: Tilt steering
 

Ididit is a lot of money.

Re: Tilt steering
 

I did talk to a tech/rep from ididit and they said like 38” which differs from other sellers and jeg’s(tech/rep) at 32”?

Re: Tilt steering
 

Wow, they told me 30" whats up with that?

Re: Tilt steering
 

I got one from IDIDIT, I would say the retro fit is same length as stock with tilt. The mounts are slotted. Could be difference from tilt to non tilt as well.

Re: Tilt steering
 

So was it 32” or 36”?

Re: Tilt steering
 

I don't have length, but for a rack use Part# 1120650120
It was close if not same as 3 on tree column.

Re: Tilt steering
 

So I called IDIDIT and the "box" is 35" and the "Rack" is 30"

Re: Tilt steering
 

What is a "Rack"?

Re: Tilt steering
 

Rack would be the other type of steering Apparatus,

The problem with old tilt compared to new tilt the new style in way better.What is the one thing you grab a hold of to pull your self mostly fat people but skinny people do it too is the steering wheel.That's why I've never liked tilts they get lose it take a little while to go in the tighten up the column
