76 steering column
Buddy needs a steering column for a 76. Anybody know what other years will fit/work in a 76. I know their are some changes between 75, 76 and 77. I have a 77 and the dimer switch is on the colunm, not the floor like in the 76.
Also any good places to get a new complete one if can't find a decent used one.
Thanks for any help.

Any 69-76 column will work. 76 is the least desirable, with the so-called "Vega Wheel" (even tho it was used on some pretty hot Camaros & Chevelles).
Unless it's an NCRS type of car, I would definitely convert to the 69-75 traditional look, Tilt-Telescopic. I believe that they are available from Paragon, Zip, etc.

Currently there are no stock columns being reproduced, though I know that there is a company working on repro-ing complete columns. Right now they are making individual parts and eventually will have everything produced so that they can start assembling complete columns.
Are you looking for a tlit/tele, or can you use a straight column? I have a complete straight column, including wheel, that I'll take $75.00 for. I'm leaving for Carlisle very early Wednesday morning, but if you want to take a look at the column, PM me and let me know by Tuesday evening and I will bring it out with me. I also may know someone who will have some rebuilt tilt/tele columns that I can get you a price on and confirm he'll have at Carlisle this weekend.
