My question is what are the columns that are out there that will work with this rag joint set up or do you have to go aftermarket ? It does have power steering.

I would like to use my original column if at all possible.

The original hole is way to high.
I moved mine down about 3in ( can't remember exactly)so I had a straighter shot at the gear box. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 51 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 51 | I was working on the column last night . I did cut a hole to line it up better but it is offset so much it looks bad. I am not sure how the chevy dash is formed around the steering column but the 54 gmc dash has a large cutout for the column. I guess I will do the best I can and live with it. Thanks again Tom | | |
