looking for a tilt column for a 68 Cutlass

 

floor shift or column?

 

column

thanks

 

I believe the 68 is one year only column. Not 100% on that though. It also has the ignition on the dash and not the column. Does a 66 have the same setup? I think for column swaps the main things are length and the of splines on the shaft. The more variation, the more customizing you need.

 

All, up to and including 1968, had the key in the dash. Federal law mandated locking steering columns in 1969 to help curb vehicle theft, although, for some reason, it didn't apply to vans.

 

68 is 1 year only, but similar to 67. 67 was the first year for 4-way flashers in the column. So starting in 67, the column diameter at the steering wheel got slightly larger. 67 has a 1-piece colapsable steering shaft running from the steering box to the steering wheel. The 68 column is like the later 69-72 columns with a steering shaft running from the steering box to a u-joint at the bottom of the steering column. Then a seperate shaft in the column itself. The column for your car should interchage with other 68 BOP tilt columns. 66, 67, and 68 chevelle tilt columns are all 1 year only 1 model only columns (they need to come from that year chevelle and will not correctly interchange with BOP) because of how they meet the dash.

 

I installed an Ididit tilt column in the Vette, Its a one year wonder 68 as well. The Ididit is high quality and went in without a hitch, plug n play.
Good luck finding a 68 A body Olds OEM tilt, column or floor shift. If you do locate one you could've bought 3-4 Ididits.

Take a look at the site or call. Flaming River is supposed to be the same.
