The angle of my steering column on this '34 pickup is not such that it will meet up with the bracket on the dash, infact it's out about two inches from that point. Is there an adjustment for this?? I tried a bit of torque on it but it is locked to that position. I suppose I could live with it but it really pushes the room between the seat and wheel to a minimum.

You might try loosening all the mounting bolts, then see if it'll move where you want it to go. Don't forget to retighten them!! A small change where the box is bolted can make a big difference at the end of the column. You might also be able to oblong the holes a little and make it work.

Thanks for that idea! I am sure one of those will work--like you say--just a bit of change at the mount will make ahuge change above. By the way yout green truck is really outstanding. Good work!

I'm not familar with the '34, but the earlier steering gears are clamped to the frame. You can loosen the bolts and it will rotate up.

Good thanks for that too --sounds like I will have some added room there in short order. It was looking kinda meager for a while
