look up dynamic corvette,column rebuilder. or search the forum for many very good posts on the rebuilding of the column,which will help you decide if you want to tackle it yourself.

If you're going to spend that kind of money one option is this -

http://www.flamingriver.com/index.ph.../s0001/FR30005

You can order in different lengths to move the wheel closer to the dash like the 77-82's and they are tilt, it's what i'm going to do

You'll also need the fitting kit -

And you can sell your column.

Wow if just decided what I am getting. The only thing is can a cruise control
Switch be added. I am on my phone ATM so cannot remember the link, but it could be added to original column.

I think it replaced the indicator.
