A common problem on many late 70's early 80's GM cars is the tilt column loosening up. My son bought an 86 K/5 Blazer the other night and the column was a mess. There is a problem with expolded views and shop manuals taking one these apart. I did come across this site that was a lot of help, I would like to share it

By the way, it feels like new! It did take all day

The tilt column in my 1987 Jimmy 4x4 came loose. This was a great help for fixing that problem. Thanks!
