Dova · 11-28-2008, 12:10 AM

Could you convert an 85 van tilt to a floor shift? How much would it be? Are the lengths right?

California gold 68 · 01-02-2009, 11:54 PM

Kevin, Really impressive work. Looks like you pay attention to the details. I have a tilt from a1977 GMC Sierra and would like to put it in my 1968 K20 4x4. It is column shift and I have a 4-speed on the floor. Can this be converted? If so, how much? Thanks for your time.

California gold 68 · 01-03-2009, 12:04 AM

Kevin, New at this,so bear with me. Can I use the steering wheel from my 68 on the 1977 steering shaft?

California gold 68 · 01-03-2009, 02:43 AM

Kevin thanks for the advice. Do you have any columns for sale that are correct for my application?

babyblueoval · 01-10-2009, 10:20 AM

Kevin,
I received mine yesterday. It's absolutely perfect!!!

Nice and tight, great factory finish, packaged very well!

If any of you guys are on the fence about whether or not to get yours from Kevin, DO IT!

He's great to deal with and keeps in contact every step of the way.

Jim

sflanagan · 01-20-2009, 01:46 AM

Thinking about getting a new tilt column/floor shift. Your feedback sounds good!! Plus I live in Bakersfield so I could drive up to get one. Just wondering if you could fit me in for a column in your busy schedule. If you can how much would it be? Thanks for your time..

dutchadams · 03-23-2009, 09:18 PM

Hi Kevin, These colums look solid. The price is $400.00 plus shipping right? Ups ground to Arizona is like $16.00. Does that sound about right? If so sign me up for a tilt, colum shift.

UltraBlue71 · 03-28-2009, 10:39 AM

Do you have any manual shift tilts ready yo go KevsClassics? How about a worn out non tilt with crappy bearings for trade (ha)

**KevsClassics** · 04-02-2009, 11:27 PM

I have been getting lots of PMs asking how much $ and what is consist of.
$275.00 plus shipping that incl. complete disassembly. external parts bead blasted etch primed & painted semi gloss black. inner parts cleaned checked & relubed. new parts are AC Delco turn switch, nuetral switch,dash seal, firewall seal, turn & tilt levers, shift indicator lens & pointer, haz. knob.

California gold 68 · 04-09-2009, 01:59 AM

Kevin sent you a PM. Looking for a floor shift tilt to go in my 68 Chevy. What's the cost + shipping to Sacramento? Thanks

pickupman · 04-10-2009, 07:54 PM

Do you still have a floor shift column available? May be interested.
Thanks, Bill

**lolife99** · 04-10-2009, 09:20 PM

Today I recieved my re-furbished tilt column from Kevin. This thing is a work of art!
The hunk of crap column I sent him really turned out nice.
So,... if anyone wants a tilt column,... Kevin is the man!
This ones going in my beater '69,... and I'm beginning to think it's TOO nice for it.
Anyway,... a big thanks to Kevin for the great communication, shipping, and SUPER quality workmanship through out this entire transaction.
I'm sure he will get more of my business.

babyblueoval · 05-02-2009, 10:29 AM

Kevin,
Thanks again for your awesome workmanship and stellar service.

**fine69** · 05-02-2009, 05:01 PM

Why would he offer to rebuild your tilt? The customer is NOT always right.

You get what you ASK for. If you wanted it rebuilt you should have ASKED.

1 unsatisfied person does not make the REPUTABLE seller bad.

Seems you paid for NOTHING. But still got a usable tilt out of it.

C/10 King · 05-02-2009, 05:53 PM

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, you ripoff artist! NOT!!!! If anybody knows ask me, I've bought countless tilts from you, utilized many of your other talents (painting, bagging, wiring, engine repairs and not to mention working on my families vehicles). And the only fault I can find in you is that you drink those dogone MJD's! Don't worry about that cheapskate,

you have a customer here for life.

BBGMC · 05-12-2009, 07:22 AM

Well to tell you the truth I've been reading all the replies to the work you do Kev and Im sold but I was wondering is this a factory style turn signal switch for these trucks http://www.americanclassic.com/Googl...S69TH-1971.htm

Or is the one offered on the tilts you do factory? I am only curious and will be buying one from you when I can afford it. also do you do tilts for like a 1975 3/4t 4x4 stick truck I have a column shift auto but my brothers truck is a stick the columns out of a who knows what year truck but my guess is the late 70's

Thanks

**rob32472** · 05-28-2009, 12:15 AM

Kevin I got my tilt column and want to say thanks! The quality of the workmanship is bar none!

**JJanzen** · 05-30-2009, 09:21 AM

Kevin,
I just unpacked the column you rebuilt for me and I've got to tell you I am very impressed! The level of detail and the number of parts you replaced, cleaned up or repaired was very impressive. You do fantastic work and I thank you very much! For anyone interested, Kevin's price to rebuild these van/truck columns is a very good deal! You will not be disappointed.

C20-67_N_MO · 06-11-2009, 10:08 AM

Yeah one of these days I will have to buy one of these nice tilts.

Looks like good workmanship at a very fair price.

**KevsClassics** · 07-12-2009, 04:01 PM

Still rebuilding Columns.

Cohl · 07-15-2009, 07:04 PM

Hi, I just got my column today and , WOW!! The quality of this thing is amazing. Thanks to Kevin for his awsome work, and also for going out if his way to get this to me as on a deadline. I'll post some pics when installed. Thanks again!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-02-2009, 09:07 AM

Kevin how much more would the price kill me to get it chromed like the one you pictured?

**KevsClassics** · 08-02-2009, 10:58 AM

$150.00 More to have chromed.
