tilt column

[BSG]

Hey guys after years of working on one of my Challengers its finally a driver and a nice one at that. When I first bought one of them it was a 318 2bbl auto ac car. Now fast forward 30 years and its a nice 340 XV motorsports resto mod. I don't weigh 185lbs any more. I know that they make make seat track set back brackets. I was wondering if any of these cars came with tilt on the steering columns? I had to cut the existing one and put a bearing in the end of it and weld a different end to adapt to the Rack and pinion. I just dont recall ever seeing an ebody with tilt? Even my RT 383 car doesn't have it. I'm sure one of you guys knows the answer. I know it would be easier to just throw a gm column in cus it already has AAW harness that would plug right into it but I try with the exception of the suspension am trying to keep the eo look and feel to the interior.

Never ever 67 -70 A or B. or any year E-body. Some adapt later Cordoba columns. Other wise Flaming River.

Now my brain is going twards seeking info on older luxury Chrysler cars like the letter cars or the boats they produced back in the day to see if they had tilt? will see. thank you both

I've had a few 69 and 70 Chrysler 300's. if they were a floor shift auto they had tilt and telescopic columns, but they are all likely too long for an E body
My 86 W350 4x4 has a tilt column with a column shift auto, and you could get a tilt column with a 4 speed trans in the same years

I adapted a 30" hotrod column into my 73 Cuda, the only real challenging part is that takes a bit to adapt a stock crush can.

that looks good but you end up with a gm key?

I'll bet the housing and shaft could be cut and trimed probably a lot like i had to do to put that shi*** XV MOTORSPORTS k member and suspension in?

The 80s pick up trucks use the same heads as Ebody. The head unit can be converted to be used on an E column.

I didn't know that I'll have to look into that, as I have an extra ebody floor shift column, and a spare tilt column for my snowplow truck, might make an interesting project.
