Re: Why tilt column?

I have a non tilt in my 70' GMC and went from an original steering wheel to a 67' wheel because I felt it looked more like a truck wheel. The 67' takes up a little more of the gut space but what the heck [things we do for looks right!] Now here comes the interesting facts .... I'm 5ft 8.5' tall and 224 lbs. I'm big for my size but not fat [well maybe a little, just a little] but I get in and out reletively easy and I owe it to the truck being lowered as much as it is. Just slide in, and slide out. The 67' wheel is a good thing for me as there is only an inch left before full belly contact .... kinda like a rare option, if belly contact is made the loose weight indicator is felt and the signal to loose weight stays on [felt every time you get in the truck] until you loose weight, quite a feature don't you think. One could opt for reinstalling the original wheel but that would be like buying a larger pant size, no want to do this!

esll.
