Yeah, mucho better. The old one was all ate up on the backside from some little bastards.
Looks like it was about 120 bucks.

Got the tilt column swapped in. Everything went smooth but I did learn a bit. When I had both columns on the bench, I looked at the ignition and dimmer switches to make sure they looked right and the ignition caught me eye. Not sure if it’s because tilt vs non-tilt or a ‘90 and newer thing, but the ignition switch is flipped basically so the wiring plugs have to be rotated 180 degrees. On the original non-tilt column, the rod that actuates the switch goes the same direction as the key. (Forward to on and crank). The tilt column rod is like I am used to. ( rod pulls rearward as key goes forward).
Anyway, evertyhing works great and it’s so nice not to hit my legs on the wheel getting in and out!

I found the same thing in a '78.
Took a little messing around to get the harness to be ok with getting flipped.

wait you didn't have tilt column before ? I thought this was an Auto shift to manual column swap ?
Nope! This was a 4 speed originally! Part of the attraction in the beginning.
Now it's what so many of us desire,
5 speed square bus!
Yep, like dave said. Weird because this thing is loaded with every other option except tilt.
You are correct in that GM flipped the ignition switch between non-tilt and tilt columns.
Right on. I guess i’ve never had a non-tilt apart before. Definitly caught me offgaurd
She’s one hell of a grocery getter!
Totally different truck now.
At todays prices you cant afford to fill that with groceries!

That's no joke. Crazy times. Bad ass burb brother!
Haha, it really is. The engine is about the only thing left from when I got it.
Ls swap time.
Maybe eventually
Darn I was hoping to fluff your feathers on it knowing you don’t have one. Big block would be cool.
You know a 12 valve drives real nice with that NV4500! Way cooler tow rig than that newer crap.
