Title: Conversion to Tilt Column
Post by: lotsafords on 2016-12-14 18:03
Would like to replace my 57 column in the Ranchero with a Tilt unit with shifter.  Is there a Ford unit which works well?  I will be mating it to the Bergeson PS unit.  Any help will be appreciated.

Found a mid 80s (maybe the mid 70s?) Ford van works pretty good.  The tilt is in the turn signal stalk, key on the dash, and shift indicator on the column.  It is 2 1/2" instead of the 2 1/4 our 57s are.  Used it in a 34 Plymouth I was building for a fellow.
