Hello,
I've got my steering column from my 77 GMC 1/2 ton and was wondering if it would fit in my 49 GMC 1/2 ton? What type of modes will I have to do, and is there a kit I can by to hook up the tranny linkage? Thanks.

Never done that swap but with any such change you will have to put it in place and figure it out. Learn by doing and then let us know how you did.

that is the same column that I see in most of these trucks that have been redone. You can get some chevy van columns that are the same but don't have the ignition on the column, that way you can put your key back in the dash, looks cool.

My 67 Malibu has a nice tilt column with shifter but no key. I always thought an identical one would look awesome in my '46.

I was at a car show on friday, A guy had a 55 chevy pick-up with a late model column and kept the stock 55 steering box. He cut the shaft on the stock box about two inches from the box and used a borgenson U-joint to connect to the new column, It was a nice looking job. old navy 51..............
