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. We also offer this column in a column shift version.

Details That Are an Industry Standard

We all have our favorite makes and models, but when it comes to tilt steering columns the 1969-1994 GM version takes top billing. These columns have been used as salvage yard retrofits for decades due to their wide fitment range, ease of availability, and huge aftermarket support for service replacement parts like turn signal switches, bearings, and more. So, when it was time for us to build our own universal tilt columns of course we kept ours true to these popular GM models.

Our tilt steering columns follow these 1969-1994 GM 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.

Installs Easily in Almost Anything with Four Wheels

Our Universal GM Tilt Steering Column arrives in a beautiful chrome plated finish ready to make your interior color scheme pop and ships with cleanly styled chrome-plated control levers for the turn signal switch, tilt mechanism, shifter, and hazard light switch. If you prefer, we offer our column in a plain steel 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

The product is recognized for its great fitting, satisfactory initial smoothness, and adjustable tilt feature. The polished chrome finish is a popular choice and praised for its look. It is considered a must-have conversion for ease and convenience in driving, plus, it’s good for adding more room to work on wiring and assembling interior parts. Yet, certain customers have expressed concerns over wiring issues, highlighting rare instances of defective internal components. Other customers mention that the steering feel can be slightly tight with crunchy bearings. Despite these issues, many customers would buy the product again due to its competitive pricing compared to other brands. The product's effectiveness for different projects, its excellent value, and visual appeal are consistent themes across most reviews.

Good, but couple issues

Not road tested yet, but fit and finish is good and initial smoothness of column feels good. When received, horn spring contact assembly was bad (spring did not fit) and part of the plastic horn /turn signal cam ring was cracked. Contacted Speedway, and service personal were extremely friendly and polite and a replacement cam ring was sent immediately. I did not ask for a replacement horn spring contact, as I already had one. That type of service and response, says volumes in my mind and is critical for my repeat business.

It works and fits.

Th first column I received looked good until i finished installing it and found that the turn signal switch was bad...it shot a spring out when the cancelling cam tried to function. I sent it back and just installed the replacement column; the turn signal work and cancel correctly now, but the steering is much tighter than it should be. The bearings in the column are kind of crunchy and cause some feedback in the wheel when turning (even when not connected to the gearbox). I'll just deal with this issue as I don't want to go through the process of returning another one, waiting, rewiring, reinstalling...etc.. I should have paid the extra $$ and purchased a name brand column, but lesson learned. Pretty disappointed in the quality of this Speedway branded item.

Unit LOOKS awesome!! Before truck is completed already having wiring issues & SHORTS to rear taillights!! ( VERY FEW TURNS TO THE STEERING COLUMN) BAD install of wiring inside column!!! We CAN"T get our money back because father in law almost took sledge hammer to it on the bench when we FINALLY found out where the problem was!! Wires were probably installed with a screw driver PUSH.....& stripped installation 3" below steering wheel!! YES, we ordered another column & will check wiring first before the box is even discarded!! HORRIBLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!! HOURS of time wasted!!! So it's an $800 column instead of $400....IF THE 2ND ONE WORKS PROPERLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

small berg in NE.

Purchased this column sometime ago, just installed couple weeks ago in a 3 yr. build (71 C10). This product I feel is not worth the $, glad got it on sale. The shift indicator does not match the gear that you are in on my 4 speed auto. Shift is very rough as well as the tilt. I will be replacing with another brand. Would not recommend to anyone, unless you were getting with out column shift and can figure how to make the tilt soother.

Is this a direct replacement for a 1974 C30? If not, how much different is it and what else is needed?

I have the American auto wire harness Part # 91051055 that I have received from SWM. The connection from the new harness does not match the original column connecter. If possible I'd rather get a new column that is compatible with the new harness, then to cut and spice wires. Will this column be appropriate if not can you provide the part # of the correct column?
