Check in with French Lake Auto parts in MN. They just got a ‘65 tilt wheel in bolted into a ‘65 Olds 98, but is now lacking a steering wheel.

I attempted to buy the turn signal stalk, but they refused (rightly) since they’ll get more for a whole column.

They will ship. Good luck & good hunting. In a pinch a ‘66 tilt & tele column may work.

I should have several. You going to homecoming this saturday or national in early july?

willj

hi , thanks for the reply!! where are you located? would you be willing to ship to maine? thanks alot. will.

I’m in IL. No idea what shipping will run. I’m at homecoming currently. Any chance you are going to the nationals or Hershey in October? Are you looking for a particular color? Here are pics of the 64 columns I have. Some with wheels, some without. Let me know.

hey deaddds , thanks for the reply, all i need is the complete column, do not need the wheel.would have to be shipped to maine, any shade of blue would be good, will paint it any way, let me know what the price is,and how you would want to be paid , don,t have pay pal. can mail what ever, thank,s again . will.

Email direct to dead@mchsi.com and send an address. It may take a few days to find a big enough box to get a total with shipping. Just a tilt column would be $200. I will want to send pics direct to you to verify what is there. Regards Pat

by the way ,is the steering wheel from a reg non tilt column interchangable with a tilt column ? thanks.

deaddds

Yes and no. The wheel is the same but you need to change out or make a different cancel pin that goes in the backing plate of the wheel. The service book details this.

willj

well i guess i will need a steering wheel to, thanks for that info.will be waiting to hear from you on where to send payment thanks , will.

deaddds

Pull ur wheel and you will see the cancel pin. Liberal amounts of Kroil and channel locks will pull it out. Usually farm and fleet will have a dowel that size and you can bend the shape in the book in a vise. If not, I’ll send the wheel separately. Let me know.

willj

hi, i will take the steering wheel to ,just to be safe, thanks for the info, will have my son try , i just want to be safe, tell me what you want the payment as , i will mail out the same day, thanks will.

willj

hi , just thought i would mention ,my car is a floor shift , automatic, thanks ,will.

deaddds

That’s a biggie. I will need to look harder as the ones I have pulled already will have a shifter hole on the column. Those are hard to come by.

willj

hey if it has the hole for the ccolumn ship ,i can take it there should be no reason i still can,t use it, i appreciate all the effort you put in it,
