The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop steering column

LETS SEE THEM!!! For both Advanced Design and Task Force trucks. What did you get it out of and how easy/hard was it to adapt to these trucks.

I like the look of those aftermarket tilt columns but not the price. I live with in miles of a large U-Pull-It yard that has thousands of cars and trucks of every make, mainly 80's to late 90's/early 2000's. I went today looking at what could be used and seen a few that may work, but would like to see what everyone else is using in their trucks.

I used a column out of 89 S-10 Blazer with tilt. Really steering columns are real easy to fabricate. If you can't find a short one out of a 70's chevy van, you can shorten just about anything. All you need is a couple of universal joints and line it up. When I stubbed my truck with a Nova subframe I just cut a new hole in the floor to line up the steering gear and column. I plan on using the turn signal and ignition on the new column.
