Default 69 Steering Column Swap

I am contemplating swapping a standard steering column for one with tilt on my 69 coupe. How ugly of a job is this, any words of advice?

easy job, well worth it if you can locate a tilt column.

Agreed. Falls on the easy end of projects on the car. Tilt column prices will give you sticker shock however.

Look for the papers by Jim Shea for everything you wanted to know about the columns.

Did this swap a couple of months ago. Simple, straight forward job.....but you will need two sets of hands. Not a solo job.

Thanks All,
Yeah I have been watching a few on eBay and look nice but you certainly do pay. I'll look for Jim's write ups. I can live with the column but sure would be nice to not have it column in my lap.

I saw your earlier post and was wondering if you still had any tilt columns left?

Thanks,
John
