Identifying a tilt wheel column
I thought I'd start a new thread on this instead of further hijacking the other one.
Can someone tell or show me how to tell the difference in a tilt and non tilt column visually? I cannot see enough detail in the pics I looked at to be certain of any difference in the 2.
The photo in the 1980 brochure is much clearer and I cannot spot any difference in it and mine. It does look slightly different than the pic in the 81 brochure, but like I said, not clear enough for me to be certain.

That's what I thought, but I've been told that you can ID them visually. I already know I have a tilt, I'm trying to expand my knowledge.

A guy looked at my 80 and saw the hole around the turnsignal stalk coming out of the column looked like a "T" and said I had a tilt column. Sure enough I did, and I didn't even know it(had the truck for couple of years). So if someone has a no-tilt column and can look at the hole were the turnsignal stalk comes out, if it's just a slot, then that would be a way to verify a tilt.

Thanks Dave. That'll do it. Now I can see the difference in ALL the photos. I was looking at that collar and thought it looked like it was maybe a little shorter or larger in diameter, but that was hard to discern in the pics and wasn't it.
