I see you’ve got a painless kit installed. That’s my project now and was trying to figure out removing the ignition switch cables. Thanks for the video, you’re good at these.
Great video and I like your style. For starters, I'm probably never going to click on a video that's longer than 10 minutes. Once I started the video, you don't waste a bunch of time in the beginning with a loud channel theme video and finally, you stay to the point. You have a good, clear voice and the audio/video quality is really good. Plus, you're funny and interesting without intentionally trying to be funny and interesting. I understand paying the bills so I'm cool with the beard commercial in the middle because it's also pretty funny. This is how DIY video's should be done so I'm subscribing to your channel. Nicely done.
I'm about to do a full column swap on my 89 Dodge D150. Finally figured out the cause of my floppy steering wheel, and it's my current column, completely cracked. I had already tightened the 4 bolts at the tilt knuckle and replaced the steering shaft before I finally found the problem.
Thank you for this video man! Just bought a 1985 suburban 2 days ago and someone I can tell tried to steal it before because my ignition switch rod is all messed up… I rather just knock it out with a new column and go from there… do you have any links to where I can get a new/remanufactured column? I have tilt steering but I don’t care if the new column doesn’t have that. Got this truck for a steal of $1400 just because i was the only one who got it started, the person I bought it from never could get it to run til I hot wired it, I have been hotwiring it but it’s getting old to Hotwire it everytime I go somewhere 😅
A lot of people will put in an ignition cutoff switch and that’s what mine is. Turn your key to on and flip the switch. If your dash lights turn off or on that’s probably what it is. You should also be able to flip it while the truck is on to turn it off
So I have an 84 gmc k10 and my steering wheel nut and bolt have both been stripped. I’m not sure if I have to replace the whole column now, but I can’t find the length anywhere. Does it matter what length the replacement column is?
As long as you do a 1980-1991 steering column you will be just fine. The length isn’t crucial but you’ll be better off if you stick close to stock. If you have a tilt column and can get the stripped parts off all you would need to replace is the upper steering shaft and nut which might be cheaper.
@@TheBlazerBeam that would be cool! I just got my 79 on Saturday in Winston OR. Traded my Hyundai Genesis coupe for it. The column and gauges need replacing. So was cool to see this video.

Glad I could help!
Thanks for posting !!
I called it as soon as you guessed the size of those bolts at 7/16 lol and I said 10mm lol. I’m watching cus I’ve never done this, honestly 😊

I appreciate the feedback! I’ll try to make sure to stick to this for future videos
Thanks so much im about to swap mine on a 1974 C20
Literally life saver. About to replace mine in my 79 k10. Never done it before
I’m glad I could help! I’ve got the install video coming out next week if you’re looking for that as well
@@TheBlazerBeam definitely could use that
Cool video 👍🏼

Your videos have been a HUGE help to me. Thank you and God bless!
Thanks for the video. Doesn't look to scary. When will you be posting the install?
Thanks, it’s already up.

thanks for information
Great video Is it possible to install a chrome style column like this into a 2001 Chevy silverado?
With some modification, anything is possible. But you’ll probably lose some modern amenities going that route

Lmc truck is always a great go to. If you don’t mind spending extra you could go the flaming river route too
3:25 is there a link to a website that sells this modification? If so please send it. Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/fI45B-EEFpk/видео.htmlsi=yf0xRZAC0g405P69 goes over this modification
Whats the flip switch u have next to your brake release? I just bought a 85 c10 and it has the same switch
