any advise on installing steering colum and steering wheel--54 chevy,not mechanic,but pretty handy--don't want to start project then find out I'm in over my head and have a car in my garage with no steering---the mech,shops I came accross were pains in the ***!!--it's like asking them hey can you find the time!! It should be like this is what I want and I'm paying for it.I asked one guy for a front end upgrade--he told me he dosent do those but if I go to a junk yard and find a compatable front end buy it and cut it--he'll install it.--i said if I could do that why the **** would i be talking to you.BIG BALLS!!---just venting--peace
Right now I'm also looking for a column for my 54. I figure about a 32-33" long, Maybe 68 to early 80s GM to avoid the turn signal switch wiper&cruise issue. Does anyone know of a list that shows what cars/pickups are what lengths? I go to the junk yard and he asks what car I want it out of. The guy is trying to be a smart*** because he knows what I'm putting it in. I think late 70s Buick are about 33" ???? Any suggestions? Thanks.
I had a gm column in my 39 and it was UGLY. it was huge!!! I ended up forking out some $ to do the flaming river one...its only 1 3/4" round. Pretty thin
