Many use the Ididit aftermarket steering columns but on my '51-3100 I wanted to keep my original steering wheel and column. I opted for the Billet Steering Column Saver from Classic Performance Products, Inc. (CPP). It was pretty straight forward, easy to follow instructions and worked well with the Borgeson u-joints and D-D steering shafts to mate up to the rack and pinion unit. You may want to look into it? Good luck!
