Can anyone tell me if this is a Vette column and what year it would fit?
Thanks,
Joe

Plug on the side looks like the column is for a 55-57 Bel Air but the turn signal lever is not right. It could have been changed though. Gotta start somewhere with answers. Let's see what other have to say. I will be happy to look at the columns on my 55, 56, and 57 Bel Airs tomorrow when I am back at the shop.

Looks like a 1963 Corvette steering column.. This was a one year only column.

TYVM. I stand corrected. I own nothing later than a 1961 SS Impala Convertible. No tilt in that car.

Might be 63, but it looks mighty long for Corvette. How long is that thing?
