70barracuda Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Looking for a good tilt column for my 88. Color doesn't matter as long as it's in good shape. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, shipping steering columns is fairly easy. I've had to do it a few times at work. I would recommend taking off the tilt column adjuster handle thing and the turn signal stalk, then it will fit in a regular box. I want to say we were able to ship 3 (for 63 Impalas) in one box from WI to CA for $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I shipped one a while back and left the stalks installed and made a small frame of plywood around them for safety and because I didn't want to tear the column apart. The box weighed 25lbs and was a similar shape to a guitar box when it was done. It was $30 to ship with USPS to the next state over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70barracuda Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 What's the going rate on these? Ebay has a ton but they are like $300+. Seems super high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjsally Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I have a maroon tilt one for sale. $40 plus shipping. It does have a small piece missing from the housing but it still works fine and has a key. I can get some better pictures if you’re interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah $300 is way high. Are they professionally refurbished or just pulled and thrown online? 88mjsally has a dang good offer there. Mine sold for $100 and that is around the highest I've actually seen them sell for but I haven't looked at prices in a couple years so not positive on the going rate today. Really the biggest thing is finding one that doesn't have the slop in it or at least be prepared to fix it if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah I'm prepared for the rebuild and tightening screws. I redid mine and it wasn't hard at all. 3 hours ago, 88mjsally said: I have a maroon tilt one for sale. $40 plus shipping.
