Column swap options

What options do we have for column swaps aside from the blinged out $600 aftermarket units?

I want to get rid of the rag joint, and the badly designed bearings in my '65 manual column.

Thanks!

Re: Column swap options

Better yet, does anyone know the spline count on a '65 manual steering box?

Thanks!

I had a tilt column from a 72 Chevy PU installed in my 65 Suburban with the P/S setup as well. I was also able to keep my original steering wheel.

Re: Column swap options

Mainly just trying to get rid of the rag joint.

I cut my inner shaft right past the firewall, was going to put some Borgeson u joints on it, but now I'm wondering if a '72 tilt would be a nice upgrade, and still u joint it.

I have a spare XJ intermediate shaft, doesn't fit my '65 shaft obviously, but does it fit the 72?

Late 70s early 80s Chevy vans and motorhomes. Tilt and no key on the cup. You can shave the auto shifter nub if you have a manual floor shift. Wiring and steering wheel are the same. Installed one in my 65 and fell together.
