Steering Column Drop
For those of you that do not have those fancy tilt steering columns and are using the original column (with power steering) What amount of column drop are you using and would you change it if you could?

Will you be using a smaller steering wheel with your power steering? I would guess if it is 4" less in Diameter than the original then you would lower it 2" to keep the bottom of the wheel in roughly the same place. I am sure someone here has done what you are doing with the stock column.

My column and steering wheel is from a 64 galaxy. It has an old school look, directional and the shifter for the C4.

I'm looking to install an aftermarket A/C for my 69.
How did the install go for you? Do you have pics of the compressor install under the hood you could show?
I have two belts on my alternator, but I thought the double belts were for the optional A/C compressor from the factory.
Sweet truck. Awesome modified vents.

I think a new post in the right year would get more attention?
