ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1955-59 Chevy Truck - Manual (Page 9)

IMPORTANT!!
Steering Wheels:
The top shaft of the column is the same as a GM
passenger car from 1969-94 (Van columns & some
truck columns are not the same as passenger cars).
Original wheels from these years will bolt directly
to the top of the column with no modifications. An
aftermarket wheel will require an adaptor. Align the
spline and horn cam on the top of the column with
those in the adaptor and slide it onto the column.
A nut has been provided with your steering column. The nut will secure the
wheel to the top of the column. The nut on the wheel should be torqued to 45
ft lbs.
Column Shift Linkage Installation:
At the bottom of your column you will notice a
lever. This is the shift lever where your linkage
will attach from the column to the transmission.
Note the 5/16 hole through the bushings, most
kits use a 5/16 bolt to secure the rod to the col-
umn. Please follow the kit instructions for the
linkage, but make sure that no part of their kit
hits the metal portion of the lever, as it will create
a rattle in the column.
