I used a column from a late '80's van. should be the same as the truck column, only shorter. Keep in mine that I haven't driven my truck yet, but I am happy with the way that it turned out. I was not able to use the factory bracket from the van (wrong angle). I had to by an aftermarket column drop from ididit (about $75), and weld a flat piece of metal across the bracket just below the bottom of the dash. I have a Camaro clip in my truck. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | Hot rodders and Street Rodders do this all the time. There any number of articles in the "Hop-up" mags such as "Streetrodder" and "Streetrod Builders". Of course your change over is going to be different, but then they all are unless your truck looks like a '32 Ford. The things to watch and plan for are all there. Such as how the steering wheel should sit in reference to the driver both distance from his gut, if he has one, and the angle the driver feels right with. Also a biggie I have seen is the number of universal joints from the end of the steering shaft to a input shaft on the steering box. I believe more than two universals and a brace is needed. I have put two into street rods and it wasn't a big deal with planning.
