I had a succesfull junkyard search today,managed to get a set of sport mirrors for the '75 for $30.00. I also found 2 sets of SS 111 rims, unfortunately they were 14" not 15". Best of all I found a '75 Regal with a tilt column. Could not get it fully out by the time the yard closed, so I will need to go back for it. Now a question, my Cutlass has a factory floor shift, and the tilt column in the Regal is a column shift. Does anyone have instructions on how to pull apart the columns to swap over the sleeve that does not have the shifter mount? I know its possible, but I don't know how difficult it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have any information on the steering column? Anything?

 

I know what you are looking for but when I converted my Delta to floor shift I chickened out on that deal. I shudder every time I see the inside of a steering column, especially the newer ones with all the in-wheel controls, wires, and connectors. UGHHH!

 

i just had the column apart on my 66 dynamic 88. had to replace the turnsignal cam, was no big deal really. just take your time and youll do fine.

 

If you don't have a Chassis Service Manual yet get one! They've got a diagram of the steering column exploded so you can see what's what. They're on ebay all the time, one printed for each year and the mid-1970's go for a pretty reasonable price. John

 

it is involved for a novice. but with a service manual and some special tool;s it is a task that can be acomplished. i just got finished rebuilding a 75 colum so if you need help email me at 77w30442@comcast.net or feel free to call my cell 732-986-6388. also 73-77olds@yahoo.com is a great list

Thanks for the replies guys. I pulled the column yesterday and got it, 4 SS-111 centercaps and a front license plate bracket for $75.00. Earlier that day I got 4 chrome 15" SS-111 rims in great shape for $125.00 but without centercaps. Also found a set of 14" SS-111 painted rims with centercaps and trim rings, with 4 good white-letter BF-Goodrich TA's for $200.00, but I prefer the 15" rims on the '73-'77's. Now I just need to find a set of seatbelts for the swivel bucket seats and I can start on the interior.
