Steering column length
Anybody happen to know the length of the steering column on my '63 step side column shift? 30", 32" or 33"?...and, when ordering a replacement column, does it matter if my transmission has overdrive (granny gear) or not?

Re: Steering column length
where are you ordering from? yes it will matter for the aftermarket ones since they sell the indicator too.

Re: Steering column length
My column I bought from CPP came with 3 and 4 speed indicators for the auto trans also the shifter bracket is different for 3 and 4 they sent both of them too.

Re: Steering column length
If you use a universal fit column i believe you need a 33".

Re: Steering column length
I also went with the CPP universal 33". You have some play in which you can move it up or down.

Re: Steering column length
I bought the Economy 33in. Street Rod with auto shifter. I haven't put it in yet as I'm putting in a 700r4 first.

For instance, I put a '78 suburban tilt column in mine, which tends to run a bit long. Cutting the beauty ring gets it close to the dash and that is where you make some room. Last edited by wildearp; 05-29-2011 at 08:30 PM. |

Re: Steering column length
Found the photos:
  This is a 73-87 Suburban column. I cut the round steering shaft and ground it into a DD. It is a driver at this point, so things are not so clean.
