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.

For additional info, see http://www.borgeson.com/CATALOG/Catalog.html and http://www.flamingriver.com/index.c...gory_id=81/home_id=81/mode=cat/cat81.htm and others of similar ilk for technical info on how to put a column together so it will collapse properly if wrecked and otherwise stay together for daily steering...
