I was going to have someone go through/refurbish the OEM steering column, but decided to go with an aftermarket tilt unit from Flaming River. I ordered the 70-78 model because I prefer a splined shaft on the column instead DD. Rather than using a microswitch and relays like Ididit, Flaming River uses an OEM style mechanical ignition switch for a more positive feel. The only odd thing about Flaming River columns is that their 1"48 splined shafts are oversized slightly, so the tried and true Borgeson u-joints won't fit without a lot of effort. I had to buy a more expensive Flaming River u-joint, which looks to be of similar quality. I had paint matched to the OEM column. We bought a Lecarra leather wrapped formula wheel in Chestnut, which matches really well.
