Thumbs up 67 Ramp got a tilt

I finally got around to installing the tilt column into the ramp today.

A friend let me barrow his shop to do the work. I got all the old steering column out and the newer tilt installed with 2 minor problems but hopefully tomorrow they will be covered. I forgot to order a turn signal cam for it and the column rubber boot for the fire wall. I got to order them.
I took the old out and installed the tilt to get my measurements then I cut the DD to fit. Was simple enough. reinstalled the rag joint then slid the column in and tightened down the union and then put all the inside pieces back.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Thumbs up Re: 67 Ramp got a tilt

I used a chop saw to cut the DD off with then cleaned it up good and it slid right in. I didn't crush the pin's either and moved the wheel about a inch are so closer to the dash. I could go further but it didn't feel right but I can always move it later.
I just put the wheel back on to see how it felt until I get the turn signal cam.

In another post which I had forgotten who posted it I remembered it when I hooked up the wiring harness to the column and the horn started blowing. I fixed it with a small piece of paper.
I also took the turn signal lever and put t in the vise and bent it straight out.

Re: 67 Ramp got a tilt

What did you use to fill the hole where the shifter was? I'm getting ready to do the same thing on a four speed truck.

Thanks, Bill

Here is my thread on shaving the column.
I used plumbers roll to fill the holes and sanded it down. It dries hard and is sandable after 24 hrs of drying.
