I picked up a tilt column from Randy500 on the forum. He did excellent work on refurbishing this column. Sat the steering wheel on to see how it would look and how much room I had between the seat and wheel. Very happy with how it is going to work. I installed the Lokar linkage (finger tight) and it fits to the transmission easily. The power steering lines to the hydro were in the way of the linkage, so back to the drawing board on those.
