The old OSU student projects tow truck is a 454 c1500 with a steering wheel that honestly scared the crap out of me. The column has been rebuilt twice before but it still comes loose (typical) and each time the steering wheel would be so loose that you could almost swear it was going to fall off in your lap like an old Laural & Hardy movie. When they come loose in the right place they'll move side to side just as much as up and down. Moral of story, DIY or get burned because I've yet to hear of ANY shop that's rebuilt a column correctly. I helped with a friends 87 c1500 and it was annoying, maybe 4 hours of work. If you've got directions it's not as hard. Also, replacing the steering column isn't difficult. It's actually easier than rebuilding it. 1 bolt holding it to the shaft, 3 to the firewall, 2 on the dash and then there's the plastic crap that's gotta get pulled off. The rest if like big wire connectors and a couple small ones.
