Hi,
I have a column from a 77 GMC 1/2 ton in my GMC 1/2 ton and I fabbed some mounting brackets for under the dash that mount to the stock 77 bolt holes. Only problem is there is alot of vertical play with the steering wheel. I want it to be solid.

I was looking at the column and see that it is 3 seperate pieces just down from the steering wheel. One with the signal and ignition in it, another with the shifter in it and the third has nothing in it. I thought if I took off the bottom piece I would be able to make the mount more solid onto the dash. Possibly using the place where the original column was bolted into.

Has anyone ever taken apart a column from a 77 and if so could you tell me how to take off the bottom part.

Or if anyone has a better mounting idea that would be great. Thanks.
