    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    Now......... It has been probably 4 years since I replaced the firewall pad inside the cab. Due to the passage of time and the partaking of much fermented and distilled libations, I cannot remember if the flange/boot that seals the column to the firewall is secured to the column or not... When...

    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    I wish it was that simple.. IIRC the column has nuts welded on it to which the bracket is bolted. I can have 2 tabs machined to replace those silver inserts in the bracket to reposition it further inward. I will have to investigate possible interference of switches and wires with pedals and...

    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    I could probably fab an adapter bracket that would bolt to the dash, then have the column bracket bolt to it in the relocated position. It would need to have an offset in it in order to have the bracket bolt up at the same height as original...... It is interesting to note that the inserts thru...

    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    I find the steering wheel in my '84 C-10 to be uncomfortably close to my chest, even with the seat all the way back. I can't imagine how shorter drivers even fit behind the wheel........ Short of cutting down or replacing the steering column with an aftermarket part, what can I do to increase...
