Re: Help with Tilt Column!
Find someone near you with a truck that has a tilt and try it out for yourself.
I would think that you would like it as if you go with the van tilt, you can with a little mods, push that column all the way forward. If you look at the picture of my truck, you can see that my cone is almost touching the dask bezel. I think I shortened the column almost 4 inches. My 6' friend sat in my truck and really liked the room. If you use a stock steering wheel, it will still be a tight fit with it tilted down... |

Re: Help with Tilt Column!
I have my tilt pushed forward 1 1/2 to 2 inches, a smaller wheel, and i can't even imagine driving one without it. I test drove a stock 68 a few weeks ago with no tilt/stock wheel, and it felt totally retarded.
I am 6 foot 200 pounds Even when i was lighter, a tilt was pretty much manditory for me. |

Re: Help with Tilt Column!
Go with the tilt. You will be able to put the wheel just about anywhere you want. You might also want to try a smaller diameter steering wheel.

Re: Help with Tilt Column!
Tim's van tilt would be a great way to go. About 1/2 the price of a stock tilt, and 99% of people would never realize it was from a van. It's an easy mod.

Re: Help with Tilt Column!
How hard is it to make the van tilt work? I am somewhat mechanically inclined but definitely not a pro!
