And best of all, a mid 70s automatic transmission and tilt steering (installed), as the p.o. was an elderly farmer who lost a leg due to diabetes, and could no longer drive a stick! We drove the truck home, and drove the 235 until it started smokin' about two years later.
In the '63:
10 years worth of rotten household garbage, as it had been doing time as a dumpster.
I have a couple of questions:
1.) What kind of adapter was used to get the
automatic to mate up with the transmission?
2.) Are you still using the original steering box?
I have seen a lot of posts from people asking about these modifications, but you are the first person who has actually had them done.
If anybody else has hooked up a tilt steering column to a stock 47-54 AD truck steering box, PLEASE feel free to respond.
Thanks in advance.
