Here are the pics of the column I just finished rebuilding. If you have one to rebuild or have questions send me a PM.

Ohhh...Daddy like! What all parts did you replace new, what parts did you re-use?

Kept the end shaft and housing bearings replaced everything else. the bearings were in great shape just cleaned and repacked them. Entire column was stripped to bare bones powder coated, inspected, disected, injected and recreated. Just like New when finished.

That's nice.... looks good!

That column is a show pc., nice work!! Any special tools required for disassembly? I want to fit the floor shift pc.(no holes for the automatic shifter) to mine. I bought it rebuilt, so I have no idea how disassembly goes.

I have one in my garage from my 69 I have wanted to rebuild. I will have to save and print those pics for inspiration. Very nice!

Oh, can the part that the gear selector shaft hooks to be ordered? Mine looks like it is going to break were the pin is.

retro68,

great job on the column!

I have a non- tilt I'm curious to get started on for my 71 Blazer. Any tips you can pass on?

ttt..... for Retro68

Any info you can pass along? Where did you pick up your parts for your rebuild? What's a ballpark price for the rebuild that you did above?

Sorry, but marketing a service requires a vendor subscription.
