64 65 Chevelle & El Camino Column Shift TILT Steering Column Original 1964 1965

  
This is a good used original 1964 1965 Chevelle and El Camino column shift automatic tilt steering column. I bought it in a batch of parts so I don't know its history. It did have an original 1965 steering wheel on it so I figure it was removed from a 1965 Chevelle. I will tell you what I do see right and wrong with it. The shifter works smoothly, the shaft spins smoothly, no real play to mention in the bearings. The turnsignal switch is intact and slides freely, the upper turnsignal parts all appear to be intact and move freely.

The wiring appears to be intact and complete. There is no pitting or metal issues or extra holes on the collars or tube.

The lower floor plate is a little bent up, but a new floor seal is included. I removed the neutral safety switch because is was broken.

The lower splines on the shaft are in great shape. The chrome on the shift indicator is still pretty nice too. The only real issue I see is the turnsignal cable that runs from the top mechanism down to the switch is binding inside. I can see the cable is hooked up on both ends but if I activate the turnsignal arm up and down, I have to help push/pull the cable to get the switch and cable to slide. The small plastic pivot that the cable hooks up on at the top of the column is intact, so I believe it to be a cable issue only.

This is a used original column and should be gone through to make sure it gives you another 50 years of service. I do have the non-power steering lower steering coupler flange and you can drill one hole out to work on a power steering box coupler. It is missing the 12 point pinch bolt. (flange not pictured but will be included).
