Re: Ididit Retrofit vs Universal column

Good info, I plan to use a stock steering wheel if I can. Sounds like this plus the fact the 2" diameter will fit better against the dash will make me spend a little more $$.

I had to make a few custom parts to fit the stock wheel of my 51 pickup onto the Ididit column which was a pain. So I think it's worth the extra cost.
