Steering column repair - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a couple parts from LMC to repair my column and they do not match what I have. Course, who's to say my column is the original/correct one. At a loss as to what to do now short of buying a new column. Any suggestions?

Can you provide more specifics?

My turn signals won't cancel and I'm missing parts to make the horn work. The canceling cam I got from LMC is different. A new column is cost prohibitive so gotta figure out something. FYI: For what it's worth - - I am now using a Corvette steering wheel but plan to change it to a 1961 Chev wheel.

Tilt colums have different cancel cams than non tilt. Could that be the difference?
