if I don't go with an aftermarket steering column what steering column will work with my 55 f100.i'm just wanting a tilt column with no shifter.

 

Look at vans, you will probably not find one that bolts in without some modification; early caddy will work however they have the column shifter. Some of the camaros had tilt without the shifter not sure which years though.

 

My steering column is out of a Bronco II. I think all the Bronco II's had tilt column for access to the backseat. Only speculation on why, but I haven't found one thats not a tilt.
The tube is the same diameter as the original, so you can use your original column mount.
At least thunderbirds have the same tilt/turn signal/etc....1991 t-bird for sure, but I am sure there are other years as well.
I had mine mounted to the firewall at first, being real easy to bolt up inside.
Then I cut mine and shortened it due to my steering linkage/header problems.
I spent $40 bucks on it, and thought about buying another one just for the heck of it. This pic is what I did and now it's different, but you can get the idea.
more pics available if needed.

 

thanks for the help and the pics guys
