65-66 Chev vs 65-66 Pontiac tilt interchange
Does anyone have any experience with swapping a column between the two cars listed in my title line?
I know the wiring is a non issue, but how about the mechanical fit? |

I'll bet that you could make it work. Is it a column or floor shift? The Chevy column is probably worth much more than the Pontiac.

Floor shift, although I would be sawing off the shifter of a column shift to convert it.

Are you putting a Chevy column in a Pontiac?

Carl,
I have a couple of Tilt column shift columns if you need one. They are for the USA built pontiac chassis, not the canandian chassis.

I have a Canadian Pontiac, a 66 Grand Parisienne. I owned a different 66 Grande Parisienne years ago, and put a 66 Caprice column in it. It fit fine except I had to do some very minor trimming where the collar meets the dash.
Now I have a 66 Bonneville tilt I want to put into my current Grande Parisienne. A friend was here a few weeks ago with his 66 Grande Parisienne and we compared my Bonneville tilt with his tilt. By eye it all looks like it will work, but I know I've had guys tell me that from 67 and newer, the Chevy tilt (which I know fits Canadian Pontiacs as well) does not fit the US Pontiacs. I hope that is not too confusing! To word it differently, I guess I could also ask if a Canadian Pontiac column fits an American Pontiac, but I don't think there would be a lot of guys on here who would know if it does. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
