Title: STEERING COLUMN I D
Post by: madmike3435 on February 11, 2020, 08:41:47 PM

I purchased a brushed aluminum tilt steering column off ebay while ago.  I assumed its an Ididit, but according to them , NO, its a BILLET SPECIALTIES.   Nice tapered end on the shaft.

Anybody have any street rodder magazine 5---20 years ago or billet specialties catalogue to get an idea what this was worth new. ?????????

thanks for your help

Here are a few polished ones, but will give you a ballpark figure:

thanks Senior, the $420 unit listed with ZIGS matches the one I have purchased.

I originally wanted a tilt tele column, but those from ididit easily were at $900 plus.  This is just as nice for a lot less.
