Arad68 · 11-23-2008, 11:47 PM

Kevin,

I have an extra automatic column tilt and am in need of a floor shift tilt. Do you do conversions? If so, How much would you charge?

NWD02 · 11-24-2008, 11:50 PM

Kevin, I have a truck column shift tilt. It's in decent shape and I already bought the shift lever. Any estimate what you'd charge to rebuild it?

Does this include any rebuilding? The column I have is good, but may be a little rough around the edges.

**passthebuck** · 11-27-2008, 09:30 PM

My tilt arrived today & it's definately one sweet unit. Better than new. Thanks Kev!

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?

Thanks, Kevin

Kev,
I want to do this, but I am unable to spend $300 right now. I will be able to after the 1st of the year. I hope this is ok.

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.

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..

red71cheyenne · 02-10-2009, 09:28 PM

Just wanted to throw my $.02 in, Kevin, I got your column installed when I was home at Xmas, but didn't have time to ship you the old one back. Column is FANTASTIC! Beautiful paint and performance and all the new parts are awesome. Thanks again for a great new part for my Blazer, just wish I could drive it. Next time I get home I'll send you the old van tilt like we talked about. Jeff.

truckintexas · 02-25-2009, 02:23 PM

Kevin,

I enjoyed our conversation today. Thanks for the help. You're columns look great, and I see you have many satisfied customers.........I will keep you in mind on the van tilt......

Michael

C/10 King · 03-14-2009, 11:22 PM

Hey Kevin, I thought I was the only one you built these columns for (I have bought at least a dozen, no lie, from the master himself). I never knew you were two timing me...

by the way did you mention they can be placed in customs as well?? Here's mine

.

truckintexas · 03-16-2009, 01:14 PM

Kevin, sending you a PM

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

$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

California gold 68 · 04-10-2009, 12:04 PM

Not sure exactly what you have. I'm in need of a floor shift tilt. What year is the one with the dent?

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.
