One of the most practical comfort upgrades for a classic C10 is swapping in a tilt steering column. The original fixed column makes entry and exit awkward, especially if you’re over 6 feet tall or have lowered the truck significantly.
This thread covers complete column swaps (OEM junkyard units vs aftermarket), floor vs column shift setups, wiring the turn signal and ignition, and proper column bracket fabrication for floor shift conversions.
The GELUOXI 35" Tilt Steering Column for 1967-1972 C10 is a purpose-built aftermarket replacement that makes this swap much cleaner than a junkyard column — it’s designed for floor shift and fits the stock column opening.
