Avanti Tilt Steering

[mfg]

There’s another thread on this forum from someone who wants to find a Stude Avanti ‘tilt’ steering column.

This reminds me of an acquaintance who, years ago, purchased a ‘67 Avanti ll just to obtain a tilt column which he removed and installed into his ‘ultra mint’ ‘64 Stude Avanti!

The conventional column from his ‘64 went into the Avanti ll…. which he promptly resold!!

PS… There’s a YouTube video (My Car Story)  featuring this ‘64 Avanti named (something like) ‘64 Studebaker Avanti, supercharged and Turquoise.

I used a tilt column for a 96-ish chevy van.   It was the correct length and used the same rag joint / bolted right up

Sounds good AG-R3…. But I’m thinking your Avanti is s ‘B’ series, with ignition key on column ?

arghh, you're right...

I imagine you’re looking for an original 64 setup that will take the original Avanti steering wheel. I know Studebakers spline count is different than any of the others. These setups are very rare.
