aftermarket tilt columns? also cruise control
#11
So it is a GM column? IDIDIT?

So I assume you are going to need a GM style control switch?

Here is a page with all the Rostra control switches.

i did and even found one from southern rods cheaper...but i didnt want to fab up anything or take a wrong measurement...the one from jbg should be a drop in. all the others also came with some type of a double D output shaft which required a $70 u joint. jbg's is splinned like the ford.

got the new column...looks nice. i was a little aggravated. i called 3 time over a week and a half to confirm all the issues with ididit and which turn lever was needed(ie. GM -bolt in, ford-screw in) they assured me screw in...well, just to be sure i wanted to wait to order the cruise control and switch lever. sure enough, it showed up and was a GM bolt in! right on...id be screwed if i took them for their word and ordered the ford screw in. anyway, got cruise ordered and called jeff's...they refunded me the difference between the ford and GM style...so they gave me back $20 on my card. im happy with that. they need to understand what they sell.

got the column painted black last night and loosely ran one wire down threw the column...i will use this to pull the cruise harness down threw column later.
