Thought I would post this as good info.. I looked at other pics and location of steering wheels on here a while back, did the whole measurement thing, and decided I needed a 32 inch column. well I'm 6'2" ,, found a great deal on CL. for a brand new tilt Ididit for $200.
After placing seats and sitting in truck to mock it up, I could have gotten away with a 30" and even a 28 ", thought I would just post a few pics..
there is 4" of 2" tube extending out the firewall
so , really a 30" would allow a little more play if you have alligator arms!
