i was out junk yarding yesterday..   looking for jeep grand cherokee stuff... ran across a bunch of jeep cherokees... leaf spring rear axles ones.. some of them had floor shifts... they had a nice gm column.. no extras on it... . did not look too long..   some were tilt...  they also had a double U joint shaft between the end and the steering box... the ones i was looking at were 90 to 92 models...  so there are a bunch of them still showing up in the yards...

just thought that everybody might like a heads up...  in an not so obvious place...

Are they GM with the standard wiring and with dimmer switch ?
Would they be long enough for Street Rods ?
Thanks

i will be going back to the junk yard this week....

i will take my tape measure and pop one out... photograph it and measure it ....

i just noticed... it was not all bulky like most of the other late model stuff...

the floor shift models did not have any stuff sticking out the top..

the only thing i do aggree was the dimmer switch...   no wiper switch, no cruise control..

just a clean column...

Used a late 70s Mopar tilt column with key in my 47 Chevy.  Looked just like a GM column, including the ignition switch down on the column, except the connections on the switch were configured different.

It was a GM column. Mopar used GM tilt columns into the 80s
