Tilt Column

I have a tilt column out of a '78 Bronco, however it won't stay in position it slips down if you rest your arm on it. Can this be fixed? I'm told the gears in it are probably striped and that I should look for a different column. If so what's a good aftermarket one?

I think these guys can set you up with a new steering column.

I think also you can build up the metal on your column where it is worn down. Although I haven't heard of anyone doing this. From what I remember when I had my tilt column apart it seems that it could be done.

I would see if the parts are available before I looked for an aftermarket.

I'd take it apart and see what happened, might be a easy fix.
