I'll start off by saying I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I didn't see a suspension/steering group.

I have a 67 Malibu that has a worn out column. The column is also a column shift type, and the car has a console from a 67 SS in it. I want to rebuild the column, and while I am at it I want to convert the column to look like the car was a floor shift.

I have seen a few places that advertise column rebuilding, but the price is ~$300.00. I can get a new Flaming River tilt column for this price, so it seems kind of high.

Does anyone have any experience with this? What do you folks recommend?

Thanks for the help.

You didn`t say if it was tilt or not. But you can rebuild it your self, they are fairley simple.Upper and lower bearings are about all that can wear out.

While you have it apart, cut the socket for the shifter off,on the inside put some duck tape, then use fiberglass and fill the hole,primer and sand smooth, viola!a floor shift column.

By the way I need a tilt column for a 66 chevelle,
If you know of one let me know.Thanks.

HTH,
GOOD LUCK,
