Steering wheels for big guys.
Steering wheels for big guys.
If you are a big guy you know that stock wheel digs in the belly. What wheels have you used with out shorting the steering column? I have a 69 P/S column I may try. Will measure it tomorrow to see if it is actually shorter. In my 68 I used a 78 Tilt wheel with the sport 3 spoke wheel. Haven't found a tilt column for cheap yet. Interested in knowing what diameter and how much dish.

Re: Steering wheels for big guys.
the p/s column is 2" shorter, but without modifying the tube or moving the bracket that bolts to the dash it won't help. one thing i have noticed is that a galaxie column has the underdash bracket up farther meaning the tube is shorter from the dash to driver than the truck column.

Use Gorilla Glue. Do you have any idea how strong Gorillas are?

I'm no gorilla expert but I think that's a chimpanzee

Or maybe an orangutan
