Steering colum question
Hi guys have a quick queston.
I have a 75 vette with tilt and tel and the column is very loose so I took it down hoping it was the reversed torx bolts worked loose but no such luck . problems behind those bolts the steering tube area is broken Will any parts out of a 83 camaro tilt column work as for ant donor parts
thanx

I'm sure Jim Shea will chime in here, but I believe he has said that the basic Saginaw T/T column was common across GM, then each Division added their own steering wheel design and hub.

The 1969 through 1976 C3 T&T columns are the same. I don't think that 1977 and later C3 T&T columns will interchange.
The generic designs of the Saginaw columns are very similar. However, the length of steering shafts, shift tubes, and jackets are different. I doubt very seriously that a Camaro jacket will interchange with a Vette.
I have heard of the upper portion of the column jacket fatiguing and cracking. Probably the result of the four support bolts loosening.
I would look for a 1969 through 1976 T&T column for parts.
