Title: Steering Column Differences?
Post by: clubbert on March 02, 2003, 10:09:00 pm

I Want to switch to to a tilt steering column in my truck but not sure what all in need.  Do I need the entire column including shaft and all or just the housing up.  Also I noticed that there are two different ones in some catalogs one for
73-78 and one for 79-87.  anyone know the diff?  and which would I go by considering I have a 74 frame and a 82 body?  
thanks

Go with the year your cab is. The diference is that the wipers are in the directional switch handle on the newer trucks.

Does a tilt column give you more room between you (stomach) and the steering wheel.  i feel so close when i drive.. Do they make different offsets in steering wheels !!!

Good luck with the column...
