Auto column shift tube

[tpatton75]

Is the 73 shift tube being reproduced? The shift collar broke and took welded tab off tube . I would like to keep stock wheel or I would go with new tilt column

The stock 73 tube is 30-3/8” long. I got the column out and is pretty rusty so I ordered a new tilt wheel but thanks for all the reply’s.

Fix it!
I put an IDIDIT into my '77, and hate it. It has too much play in the raise/lower mechanism for me. Besides, I always use it in the neutral anyway. Now I'm looking for a factory column to rebuild.
