[1971_c10]

So almost have you guys caught up. The body shots were from September.

With the body on and square, I also went ahead and installed the new steering column I picked up from Ididit. It's a nice column, but it is NOT made to bolt in to a 67-72 C10 despite getting the part numbers using a 67-72 C10 as the truck. What you get is a 30" universal column and a wiring harness adapter. So not really bolt in. In my case, I had to cut a slot in the column since my dash has a locating pin and I didn't feel like cutting that pin out. Fortunately, that was the only mod I had to do.

I then realized the horn peg was in a different clock position from the factory column. Doh! Now I need a new steering wheel.

Here's some shots showing a side by side with the old column. The shorter columns are pretty much required if you are going the rack and pinion route. Then a couple shots showing the horn peg differences.

I picked up a Billet Specialties Draft steering wheel which closely goes with my spokes, but it continues the black/grey theme on the interior I'm moving to vs the old tan the previous owner put in back in the early 90's.
