Steering Tilt Column recommendations - 1980 floorshift CJ-7

[jonr3]

Hey all - I'm trying to decide what to do in regards to a tilt column for my floor shift 1980 CJ7 .

I picked up a used 1982 CJ floorshift tilt column but it would need to be completely rebuilt before install. I thought about sending it to Columnsgalore.com which mostly has good reviews, but I've seen a few negative reviews as well.

I'm also considering buying a brand new column from Ididit or Flaming River, but again, I've seen both positive and negative comments on both.

Any experience with any of these? Any recommendations or other suggestions?

Thanks!

AMC used parts from various manufacturers. Steering columns were GM

Yep, just about any early GM column bolts right in.

I bought an actual Jeep tilt column that was professionally rebuilt and with custom changes I wanted. Came from Columns and Galore. Truly plug-and-play. Here's a write up: New Tilt Column
