Steering column/wiper switch question

[Jaked1985]

So... I finally picked up a floor shift column for my monte project.
Wasn't paying much attention...apparently.
The floor shift column I got is out of an 81 monte. It has no multi function switch, the wiper switch is/was in the dash.
My 84 has cruise,washer and wiper functions on the column.
I have 3 column shift columns I can rob parts out of, would I be able to tear it down and swap the switch/lever and clock spring from one of the others to make the floor shift column useable?
If not.... Who wants a blue floor shift column?

Should be able to make it work. Or even just swap the smooth shift collar to a column shift column

Tilt seems pretty tight, about 1000 times better than the floppy steering wheel in my 84.
Column is in pretty good shape. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow. If it looks like it's gonna be a big pain to swap parts around i might just take you up on that barter.

It's not too bad, their is a couple good write-ups on the webs about GM columns. However if those other columns are in good shape maybe it's better not to tear them apart. Columns are sellable to a lot of buyers, retro fits into older rods and such

Might be just as well to take LAX up on his offer...

I would just barter for the right column. They ship fine.

For the right column...Implying they dont transfer easily?

 

[Bonnewagon]

Just get the right column. They are pretty complicated. It would suck to take them all apart and then find some silly thing does not interchange.

I agree...swap the column out for a(right type) usable one and save the headache of tearing it down.
