Hi from down under

I am restoring a 1950 single spinner ford ute it had been sitting in a field for 20 years so more holes than metal. the plan is to fit a straight-six Aussie barra in it.
It is missing the steering column and would like to know what length a replacement should be from the end of the shaft at the top to the floor?
Cheers
John

 

Welcome to the HAMB from Illinois, USA.

We would love to see photos of your project.

 

This is its first couple of days
It is now sandblasted primed and in little pieces I have just completed most of the front end including a disk brake conversion but it has a very long way to go.

 

welcome John

 

Would that steering column be like other shoebox (49-51) Ford's? I'm guessing a right hand drive column is different from the US version?

 

post it like this so you can read it.

Cool car, welcome!

Yes, it is a right-hand drive car however this is in material as I am using an early Volvo power box I am just trying to find the length of the stock column from the wheel to the floor.
