Are you happy with it and what length did you get?
Thanks.

Would a 30" column work in these trucks?
I have a chevelle clip and the steering box is in front of the crossmember.
Thanks.

Re: Steering Column Question

I am running a 32" 82 Eldorado column. It sticks out beyond the firewall about 2-3". It is tilt and telescope. The saddle mount I fabricated is in the same location at the original Eldo mount. Details are in my build thread.

Thanks OrrieG
Thats the info I needed. My brother bought a Flaming River for his project and decicded not to use it so I can pick it up cheap. Just had to make sure a 30" would fit.

You can run up to 32 inch, 28 is about the minimum
