Hot Rods Steering wheel distance on a 1937 chevy coupe

Can anyone tell me what the distance is from the column mount (under the dash) to the back of the steering wheel on a 1937 chevy coupe. I'm not using a stock one and need to make adjustments. An early ford or Plymouth coupe from that time Era would work. Just need to have some idea of proper distance.

Thanks

 

Well, I like to sit in the car, put the seat where the pedals feel good, then pick the steering wheel position. I'm sure others have their own preferred methods.

 

about 12 inches on mine but different for everyone...

 

Different for everyone, temp in something that fits you.

 

This is where you sit in the car and make engine noises lol. Put the steering wheel and seat were it fits you.

 

Maybe something in this that will help, https://www.gm.com/content/dam/comp...information-kits/chevrolet/1937-Chevrolet.pdf

 

other makes could be different

 

what steering coloum is this ?

 

64 Bel air column, turn signals, column shift, no key.

 

10” on mine with stock mount, column and banjo wheel.

 

when I was changing the steering column in my 38 Chevy I'd forgotten to measure the original dimensions so I found a 1940 or so car and measured it. I used that as a guide, but as others have said, sit in the car and then determine where you will be the most comfortable.
