Camaro clip is installed, and I am interested in opinions regarding which is a good column to use. I was told a late 70's early 80's chev/gmc van tilt column is a good candidate. Any input appreciated. Thank You. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 | The "tilt" column swap will allow you to more room for the belly, turn signal, and a key lock if desired. The vans had a short column, but most columns are easy to "shorten". I've got an S-10 tilt in my 53, and I moved the exit hole over to line up with the Nova rear steer stub. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | van column here as well.still ended up shortening it another 5".It was a 75 chevy i used the top stock column drop and a Ididit floor mount for a 55 chevy in my 49..........dave
