Actually the 69 bird tilt steering W/ floor shift is more readily available than u would think. The same tilt column was used in several Pontiac models and for several years. According to this guy. I purchased a tilt column for floor shift several years ago For my 1969 Firebird, from a guy in Jackson Wi. He specializes in tilt columns, rebuilds them. I found him at the Jefferson Wi car show. He claims to have over 8000 columns for GM cars It fit like a golden glove
