Thanks. As I said, the one on order is still not coming together. This one is Frankenstein-ed together but functional. I have been searching for a tilt column for about two years now and not finding a single floor shifted model anywhere. Meanwhile, I find lots of overpriced rusty column shifted ones and I have never seen a column shifted Firebird in my entire life. I am glad I hung onto this damaged one for about 40 years. Maybe the average guy would not want to sacrifice a standard column for the mast part. But I needed a tilt so I could use it with my power seat base. I got really spoiled with that set-up in my 1977 TA but I could not use the '77 column.
