You can make it work. It's not a big deal. People use to get the big car columns and sell them to the early Camaro owners. The later columns were made without the long shaft and used the intermediate shaft. I have a 68 floor shift big car column. I can show you how to put it in a 67. That's why the previous picture of the 67 pedals are posted. I had the columns all switched around. I have the dash removed so everything can been seen easily. Tell me how you want the pictures and I will take them.

The steering wheels on the big cars have a bigger dish on them. The distance on the big car column steering wheel base to the rim is 6 inches, it's only 4 inches on a A body.

Ken -
Thanks for the offer of pictures. A picture or two of the points where the shafts connect and how you achieved that would be super. The rest seems like there are no variables given that I'm putting a 67 column in a 67 car. You can send them to my email address in my bio. Or you can post them here. Thanks again,

Your steering column should have splines on the end. 68 and later cars are also splined on the end. Just get an intermediate shaft from a later car. It does not have to be from a A body car as long as it's long enough. I will take some pictures when it gets dark so the flash on the camera works.

The end of a factory 1968 A body intermediate shaft on a tilt column.

The middle of the intermediate shaft has a sleeve, the shaft will move in case of a frontal impact. If you get a intermediate shaft that is longer than you need, you can cut the shaft to fit.

Yes it does have splines.
So to use the 67 Big Car Tilt in my 67 GTO: 1) I replace my 67 GTO column, with this 67 Big Car Column, as the dash mounts, and pedal mounts look to all be the same as my GTO mounts. 2) I get one of these 2 piece intermediate shafts from a Big Car. 3) Attach it to this Tilt at the splines. 4) I bolt it to my Rag joint, and 5) Replace Steering wheel as needed... And you're all set? Sounds right? Thanks,

That's how I am going to do it. I don't know for sure yet but maybe you can just use the intermediate shaft from a 68 and up non tilt A body on the earlier cars.

The shaft in the picture is from a 73 Grand Prix, it's longer than the factory 68 shaft.
