Custom floor mount and column drop...<br/>Lol<br/><br/><br/><br/>Has anyone ever went through the firewall with the column instead of the stock location? Not sure i like the angle of the wheel, even with the tilt.

I did with my panel but it was mostly due to the location of my steering box, but I do agree that going out the original floor location stands it up pretty straight.

I plan on using a rack and pinion. Think the firewall would be a better choice for eventually connecting it all together?

The pickup I'm working on now has a rack, it lines up very well going through the floor plate, I still haven't picked up a column for it yet and not likely will until the new year. What make and length is your column?

Mine is a 32" flaming river. I think I'm going to try and go through the firewall.

The steering wheel and guages go well with his theme. It's going to be a nice blend of classic and tough.
