Gents,

If you could get a perfectly rebuilt GM steering column that had been completely disassembled, stripped to bare metal and professionally rebuilt using high quality parts, new wiring, new bearings, new turn signal cam, I mean ALL of it new or restored, fresh paint stem to stern and it looked and functioned as it did brand new. Let's try to keep this simple by assuming it’s a tilt column with no cruise control. Let's say the sale price was $1000.

The question I have is this:

Would you rather have this rebuilt unit, or would you rather go with an new aftermarket unit that, for arguments sake, was about the same price?

$1000 is awful expensive for a stock unit. Provided all the hard parts are good, switches, bearings and tumbler will be around $100. I just rebuilt 2.

Guess it depends on what the goal is, custom or stock.
