Tilt/tele steering column replacement
My ‘71 has a basic stock steering column. I would like to replace with a tilt/tele column. I’m open to after market as long as it is at least stock in appearance and good quality. Anyone know of a good source for such?

Tele would not be at the top of my list unless absolutely necessary. The TILT feature will solve many of your problems.
My IDIDIT TILT column was easy to install and still was in excellent mechanical condition after 10 years of daily driver usage in my '34 Street rod.
There are other manufacturers that I am not familiar with.
Wait for a special sale price!

Thanks. I’ll check that out. And I think you’re right. Tele really isn’t necessary.

Many, many years ago I had my '72 tilt/tele rebuilt by a company out east called "Columns Galore". They came highly recommended at the time, and did a great job on mine.
I do recall that they sold rebuilt columns as well. You may try and seek them out.

Subscribed, as I’m always looking for a T/T for my ‘71 as well, but not wanting to spend north of $1,000 for an OEM.
Saw some info on adapting ‘77-up, doesn’t seem too hard, but even those are big bux.
