I noticed that Classic Parts of America has a different part number for steering box/column for 47-53 vs. 54-55.1 3100 pickups. Can someone tell me what the differences are between the two? Is it just related to the turn signal mounting? Or is there a difference in the steering box?

regards,
Leon

one difference is a little cover on the side of the 54-55.1 that wiring comes through. Someone else may know other differences.

When did Chevy switch to a shorter steering mast and a dished steering wheel, instead of the wheel with straight spokes?

Thanks for the link. I did a search before posting the question, but I must have missed that thread.
