Re: 54 GMC, S10 swap, OM617 diesel

The column I had from my donor was tilt and had the apparently common problem of being sloppy and I wasnt about to buy special tools and tear it out to tighten 4 bolts. Went to the junkyard and found a no tilt column WITH a key and yanked that along with a sector shaft from a full size chevy truck.

Dont have pics of it right now but I cut the top off the brake pedal assembly and welded a piece of rectangle steel across with 2 bolt holes in it. Bolted the column through the original mount holes and added supports that held it to the dash as well. Heres how it sits.





Cut the shaft in half and sleeved it and welded it back together. Hopefully it works well once I get it on the ground with weight on it.
