1965-77 Olds Steering Columns

2blu442 · June 20th, 2009, 06:04 PM

I went through the collection (pronounced clutter!) to see what kinds of steering columns I have that I don't need for projects. Here's the list and a couple photos. There are no floor shift tilt columns but floor shift non-tilt and column shift tilt. I don't know the interior codes for the early colors but can provide the trim tags for the correct code.

1965 Cutlass Column Shift (CS) Beige $50
1965 Cutlass CS Acqua $50
1966 Cutlass CS Green $50
1966 Toronado CS no tilt/tele black $75
1968 Cutlass CS Green $50
1968 Cutlass CS Black $50
1968 Delta 88 CS Black $50
1969 Cutlass Floor Shift (FS) Black $75
1970 Cutlass FS Black $75
1970 Cutlass FS Black $75
1970 Cutlass CS Blue $50
1970 Cutlass CS Blue $50
1970 Cutlass CS Blue (repainted metallic) $50
1971 Delta CS Tilt Blue $50
1971(?) Delta CS Tilt Black $50
1971 Cutlass FS Green $75
1971 Cutlass FS Green $75
1971 Cutlass FS Sienna $75
1971(?) Toronado Tilt Tele (modified) $50
1972 Gran Prix! FS Blue (parts) $35
1972 Cutlass CS Saddle $50
1972 Cutlass CS Saddle $50
1974 Cutlass CS Black $50
1977 Cutlass CS Tilt Saddle (parts) $35
1978 Toronado Tilt Blue (parts) $35

This does not include the steering wheels or shipping costs. I've shipped columns with wheels and it's a pain to create a box for that shape! I will remove but include the blinker and tilt arms, the plate against the floor board, and the lower steering column if it's there. Here's a few examples:

1969 Cutlass Floor Shift

1972 Gran Prix

1971 Delta Tilt

I wonder how much weight can I put in the rafters?

2Blu442,

Geeze Lousie,

Now that's a few columns, good luck with your sale [and your rafters holding up]

Do you by chance have a 66 Amphicar is your collection?

2blu442 · June 20th, 2009, 07:14 PM

Not unless it has Oldsmobile parts on it!

"In this part of the world they call me Ishmael.... I mean Packrat!" But say that with reverence in your voice. If they ever ban our old cars from the highways I'll have the most expansive collection of useless stuff in the Pacific Northwest

I expect shipping will add $25-50 for the lower 48 states so we'll see what kind of interest there is on these items. I'd like to help out members of the brotherhood here before sending them to ebay. John

yo how much does it cost total too have it shipped and would your column for your 68 delta 88 fit my 67 delta 88 holiday coupe?

2blu442 · July 6th, 2009, 06:44 AM

getnolds, I think the 67 and 68 B body columns would be the same. But I don't have a lot of experience with the full sized cars. Would you post a thread in the full sized section asking that question? I know there are several guys on this site who know a lot about these cars. For shipping costs send me your zip code and I'll get that for you. John

Do you have a tilt/column-shift for my '66 F-85 Deluxe?

If so, how much, shipped to NC (27360)?

Thanks!

2blu442 · July 7th, 2009, 06:51 AM

Hello Doc
Sorry, I don't have a tilt column for the 1966.
John

2blu442 · July 30th, 2009, 09:41 PM

getnolds,
I found a colum I believe I removed from a 1967 Olds 98. If your still looking for one it's black. Send me your zip code for a shipping quote. John

jimjr · September 18th, 2009, 08:39 PM

Hi John- Hope this reaches you! Lookin' for '67 Cutlass Supreme upper control arms. I want to refurbish them (bead blast, paint and new bushings, etc. Would you happen to have a set (left & right) for sale ? By the way, the kick-down switch is still performing great, but I don't trust the front end enough to drive the '67 around lately. Please give me a shout. Thanks & take care! Jim

2blu442 · September 18th, 2009, 08:55 PM

Hi Jim
Glad to hear the switch is still working fine. Sad to hear about the front end. Are the A-arms damaged or can you just replace the bushings and ball joints?

I have some from 1968-72 but not 1967. Do you know if other years interchange? John

Miniucco · September 19th, 2009, 12:23 AM

Hi John!

Do you accept PayPal?
Overseas shipping (Europe, Finland)?
I need automatic transmisson gear lever/arm for my 1966 dynamic 88.
I don't know which other Olds models levers fits

Could you help me?

Thanks Ismo

2blu442 · September 19th, 2009, 06:43 AM

Hello Ismo
I'll have to dig through my parts to see what I have. I know I've got a 1966 Toronado column and a 1967 Olds 98. I'm not sure if either of those are the same but I can take some photos to send to you. John

Miniucco · September 19th, 2009, 11:30 AM

Thanks John!

Sounds nice. I can take picture also, but after 5-6 days, when i'm back in home.

Thanks Ismo

jimjr · September 19th, 2009, 04:13 PM

John- The old arms are fine. I'd like to get another set to pre-fab the bushings, ball joints, etc. just to save some time. If I run into any unforeseen trouble ("Murphy's Law" !!!) pressing out the old or pressing in the new stuff using the old arms, I'm up the creek until I locate some new arms. The extra set will be merely a cushion for me. If I don't have any problems after I swap out the parts, maybe I can pass the old arms on to somebody who needs them. Thanks for the response & take care. Jim

Hi John!
First and second picture shows how the automatic gear shift lever is broken.
Third picture shows which kind singal lever car have (in picture I have new signal lever in my hand), if that helps. I don't know if they are similar model, course the signal lever is smaller.
Thanks Ismo

2blu442 · September 24th, 2009, 09:22 AM

Miniucco, the columns that might interchange all have the same piece broken! Here's the closest I can come up with and I think it's on a 1968 Delta 88 column. Looking at your pictures it looks to have a different bend in the arm. John

Hi John!
You post nice pics

It's better than thousands of the words.
I have to take tomorrow new picture, different kind angle of my column.
Thanks Ismo
