Steering column trim

Does anyone kknow if the trim that covers the base of the steering column is different between the tilt and non-tilt units? This is, of course, in a 78-79 application.

Thanks!

I have seen two different sizes of these trim peices, one is about 2" longer than the other at the round end (column head). Thats the only difference I can tell between the two. In the cases I've seen the shorter one came off of the tilt column. -Ed

You can cut the non tilt cover down to work on the tilt column.
