Steering Column 1964 F100
HELLO EVERYONE
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE GEARBOX ARE ONE ASSEMBLEY. IS THIS TRUE AND IF SO WHAT CAN I DO TO CHANGE MY COLUMN?
THE STEERING WHEEL IS TO CLOSE TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

The box and shaft are integral to each other. the steering wheel cannot be moved down or up. The outter collum cover and shift tubes encase the SOLID 5/8" Shaft. Thats why old timers call them widow makers in a frontal collision.
A camry box will not work as it is a rack n pinion type. The Steering box swap is a toyota mid eighties front steer four wheel drive box. Look up No Limit Engineering, they have a fat fendered toyota conversion kit that can be adapted to slicks 61 to 64.

I'm a healthy guy and I want a shorter column also, but has too many other projects. A quick fix I'm considering is an aftermarket steering wheel. I think stock is 18" od. I'm looking at a 15 1/2 od wheel. That will give an extra 1 1/2 inches aprox of space/clearance.
