Enjoy the Drive Once Again

In the muscle car heyday, a tilt steering wheel was a scarce reality saved for luxury cars and exotics. If you did not fit well between the steering wheel and the seat tough cookies! It does not have to be that way today for your muscle car or street rod. Get behind the wheel and drive again in comfort with a Speedway Motors Universal GM Tilt Steering Column.

Do not let our product name scare you either! The "GM"is referring to the electrical connection type and steering shaft spline for the steering wheel. This column can just as easily fit into a Dodge, Ford, or any other project you may be building with just a little effort adapting the wiring to your vehicle and picking up a GM-specific steering wheel adapter for your aftermarket steering wheel of choice.

A Premium Tilt Column with All the Features You Want

Old tilt columns are just that-old! Do not waste your time in a salvage yard digging around for a steering column for your project that will undoubtably need a complete rebuild. Not to mention it most likely will be too long or too short for your application.

Using one of our universal tilt steering columns is the way to go. This is not just any old aftermarket steering column either. Manufactured with all new parts in a compact design, they will literally fit most anywhere. The small 2-inch diameter steering column tube and compact tilt head that is just 7-inches in length provides copious amounts of leg room while fitting nicely within most any dash.

The five-position tilt head allows 30 degrees of tilt, 20 degrees up and 10 degrees down from straight. This tilt function not only provides the perfect angle for personal driving comfort but can facilitate easier ingress/egress with a simple flick of the tilt lever.

Our tilt steering columns are modeled after the GM 1969-1994 specifications for steering wheel spline, turn signal wiring, and more (making them a near-drop-in replacement for these years). We do upgrade the GM double-D (DD) steering shaft output from the OE .985 inches to a true 1-inch DD dimension for better compatibility with aftermarket U-joints and steering shaft components for connecting to your steering box or steering rack. We also offer this column in a column shift version.

Installs Easily in Almost Anything with Four Wheels

Our Universal GM Tilt Steering Column arrives in a plain steel finish ready to be painted to your specific interior color scheme and ships with cleanly styled chrome-plated control levers for the turn signal switch, tilt mechanism, and hazard light switch. If you prefer, we offer our column in a chrome plated version as well. The 2-inch OD column tube allows it to be easily secured to your dash using the original mount or a universal column mount. We offer upper and lower column mounts, column drops, and firewall supports to aid in your installation.

The standard GM steering wheel spline means any 1969-1994 GM steering wheel is a direct fit, or you can purchase a steering wheel adapter to aid in fitting your 3-, 5-, or 9-bolt wheel to your new column. Our steering wheel adapter buyer's guide will help you find the proper fit.

Our Universal Tilt Steering Column uses GM steering column wiring connectors. The standard 3-7/8-inch turn signal switch connector even uses stock GM wire color codes. This makes our column a direct plug-and-play electrical connection to millions of GM vehicles or just about any vehicle that has been upgraded with an aftermarket wiring harness. For non-GM vehicles with factory wiring, you can easily adapt your turn signal wiring by crimping on a new harness connector to match the OE Chevy steering column wiring connector.

If a fixed steering column is preventing you from enjoying your ride, then upgrade to our Universal GM Tilt Steering Column today and drive your vehicle in comfort. Your knees will thank you for it!

Overall Assessment

Customers highly appreciate the well-engineered quality, practicality, and reasonable pricing of our product. It has been lauded as an essential addition to vintage truck restorations, demonstrating superior functionality over stock columns. Some reviewers noted the need for improved wiring diagrams, especially for bespoke setups, while others mentioned a small degree of slack at the column's base. However, overall, users seem to strongly recommend the product, often preferring it over competing columns available in the market. Despite limited criticisms, the majority opinion remains highly favorable.

Speedway Column Standard 5-Position

Replaced OEM column in '57 Dodge Truck that now has PS. A better wiring diagram would help, mine has single brake and turn lights so it needs to be separated at the column wiring. Net Search shows both 1 and 2 flashers on GM wiring applications. These are separate bulbs for brake and flashers. If you have single stop/brake and want 4-ways with key off it needs second flasher with power on all the time. Works fine now.

Reviews point to the fact that there is no bearing at the end of the shaft which would cause a wobble effect. Photos of product show support bearing. Can you clarify this?

what is the measurement from the top of the column to the hole where the wires come out? I have a 64 falcon and i want to know if the wires will come out under the dash. On some columns the wires come out to far up the column and do not exit under the dash.
