Not having a frame, steering gear box, or really anything in hand it's real hard to offer a solution to the problem that isn't yet defined. Other than it can likely be solved when you get to it.

I just want to plan a little bit,if I can,and not trap myself as much as possible.

If you can give me the possible solutions if I do have a clearance problem,that would be great.

Some possibilities,just guesses on my part,might be,
Do guys cheat the column over a little?
Do guys cheat the cab over a little?
Do guys cheat the motor mounts over a little?
How close is close,and what would be normal?
How good would the extra steering u-joints work in a heavy-duty application?
And is a steering rack even an option here?

I just want to be mindful of things during the build and maybe avoid a certain problem before it is one.Hey,it might even effect the choice of chassis I make.
