Default Tilt steering column

Anyone get a 67 tilt column from Ames? How is the quality of the rebuild? I looked at some aftermarket ones. Seems the GM column would be an easier install. I called a place in Florida, GM Tilt, someone answered and hung up so they may be out of business. Thanks.

Last I bought one, Ames is selling columns rebuilt from Gary's in Texas:

And they warranty them for life if I recall. No issues with mine.

Looks like they are closed for a while, guess I can wait. Thanks for the link.
