    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    That's the problem..... I removed the 4 bolts holding the column to the bracket, but, as I could not move the column2", the upper nuts on the column will not align with the lower holes in the bracket. As the silver slugs are slotted in the bracket, I can move them up an inch and re-attach, but I...

    That process netted me about 1", all at the coupler to lower shaft joint. I was unable to make the lower shaft assy telescope any. I think I will need to remove the lower shaft in order to apply more direct pressure. I'm pretty sure that once I shorten that shaft length, the column will move...

    Why The 180's in Fuel and Return Lines

    Both the fuel and return lines make a sharp 108 degree bend at the front of the frame. Is there a purpose for those?? Or just a routing necessity due to the position of the fuel pump connections ?

    My C10 has a floor shifter, so no linkage connected to the column. I'm wondering if I van take out the 4 bolts holding the column to the under dash bracket, and collapse it the 2" mol so that the lower set of bracket holes will line up with the upper set of column nuts....The column would only...

    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...

    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...

    For reference, the bottom of the SW is 22" from the center of the seat on my '97 F150. The C10 measures 14-1/2" with the seat all the way back. No way can I gain that much, but anything should help.... Now, into vague territory...........wheel dish...... How is that measured?? Aftermatket...

    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...
