I am looking to put a tilt column in my 67.I found one real close to me for $400.I have not seen it yet and i do not know how to tell if it is worn out.

On the surface that seems high but we need some more information.
Automatic or floor shift? Rebuilt? Have you verified it's a truck tilt and not a van or motorhome tilt?

I can buy new aftermarket for a bit less, and have found used stock van and truck one for 50-250 depending. Also I'm from canukistan... (Canada)

Sold a tilt PLUS cruise control fully intact with the tilt in good working condition for I think $300 or $350..was last year so I forget. $400 seems a little high to me for just a tilt. Mine was out of a Sierra Grande which was fully loaded.

I bought a van rebuild two years ago for $150. Hope this helps. By the way the tilt column is a great upgrade for me.

if you look around you should b able to get one that is fully rebuilt for around that price

Contact boardmember "Kevsclassics". He rebuilds tilt columns and you can get a brand new one for that price.

I bought a used truck column for $250. It was in good shape.
