This steering column was in the trunk of the ’70 I bought a while back. The car was missing the column inside the car so, I don’t know if this is the right one for it or if it is one that someone was going to put in it.

I can’t fine any part numbers on it anywhere except for a D-1-67 on the harness clip. Which would leave me to think 1967, but the column has the ignition which I know wasn’t available until ’69.

Anybody know what year or application just from lookin at it?

I going to guess it's from a Buick or Oldsmobile.

I've seen ones like that before.
I believe it's from a 78-81 Malibu or El Camino.
The knobs for the turn signal and the tilt are what tells me that.

It is a 69 -72 Camaro/Firebird, GTO, Chevelle, GS, 442 tilt. I install a tilt in every car I have, regardless of price (I'm 6'4' and 290 lbs, lol). It probably fits more cars, but I recognize it for the stuff I have installed it in. Believe it or not, you found 300 bucks in your trunk. Keep it.

Can you get a picture of the area where the ignition lock is? I believe the casting around that area isnt the same through the years. But the 2 arms do look to be late 70's and early to mid 80's.

Thanks for the replies fellows.

I'll get a couple more pics of it tonight. Are there any casting numbers anywhere on the columns?
