I asked this a little while ago but.. I am slow of mind so Here I go again. I have a 54 3100. I am in process of installing a TCI Mustang 2. Although I understand about shortening the collumn( I am going to use the original) Is there a step by step guide/ how to etc. I know I need to get u joints and some other parts but I have not seen a true 1 2 3 A B C's of how it is done i/e welding & so forth. :confused: My truck is patiently waiting for me and this is my free week to tackle. Thank You in advance. Jack

There is some controversy regarding the altering of stock steering components.
If you're not up for the job consider getting another column suitable for your needs.

Good advice from Ghostrider. Most everything you can do to one of these old trucks is a very forgiving situation. But if it concerns how it stops or how it steers, it's worth it in the long run to bite the bullet and buy something from a reputable source and the rectal irritation you'll avoid is worth it in the long run. After all, it's only money...right?

Tramp is almost right, "it's only money and your A#@." Besides, an aftermarket collumn will come with a tilt. grin
