Re: Van tilt columns
Early Chev van tilt columns are longer & the placement of their neutral safety switch binds off on the column support bracing on a truck thus you need to reposition this switch. Cut outer column with dremel -weld in a little tab--and re attach for clearnace.
The intermediate shaft is virtually identical between tilt and not tilt but you will need to shorten it for a van tilt. Drill out 2 plastic plugs (sand flat area of shaft to find them) then shorten the shaft by pressing it together.
Most van tilts have a flat connector for the wiring harness while trucks have a 1/2 moon connector. GM offers a conversion harness for this for about $12.
Van tilts typically sell for $100-200. while original truck tilts go for $250.-350. It takes about an hour to convert a van tilt to work identical to a truck tilt.
Most Van columns have a smaller steering wheel, rubber tipped levers, and many have cruse turn signal levers which can be wired into a theft diterrent (ie push the button for start!) Huck
