Before Installation Please Read!!!
These installation instructions are based on an original 1955-59 Chevy pickup. If
you have modified the dash, replaced the steering box or have modified the seats
these instruction will change. For instance, a longer or shorter drop may need
to be used if you have modified your seats. The length of the drop will be deter-
mined by the seat height. The column will be put in the stock location by using a
3.5” Underdash Mount and depending on what column you have, the drop hole
diameter will either be 2” (Tilt Floor Shift) or 2” (Tilt Column Shift). If you have
changed over to a rack and pinion system, you may need a U-Joint and additional
shafting. If you are using a power box you will need a Rag Joint. If the dash has
been modified you may need to use a different Underdash Mounting System.
